We were sitting and enjoying a picture perfect day at the Blue Peter, fresh off an epic trip through the Karoo (Tjops in the Karoo). Still high on endorphins of days spent riding epic roads, the planning for this trip started. After kicking a couple of ideas about, we settled on Sani Pass...

Cabin Fever is a thing. We have had a very successful Christmas, New years is incoming, and being stuck in GP has me less than thrilled by being stuck at home. I say stuck, as we are for the umpteenth year, not going away for December. I decided, for my own sanity, and the prosperity of my...

“A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving” – Lao Tzu This was pretty much the plan for my trip to Hilton, in KZN. Why Hilton specifically? Because I have a friend who stays there, and he had a bed available for me in his loft. I have ridden on two wheels in the area...

I was in two minds about writing a report of my recent trip. (Warning: I write as a form of catharsis, there are some photo’s along with lots of ramblings from a purely personal point of view.) Today I’m feeling real low. Have not felt like this in a very long time. I have been suffering from...

Hi dogs. Hoping for a miracle. I’m stuck just outside of Harrismith with a broken chain. Getting a tow into toen, but from there i’m stuck. I may have someone in Hilton that can hook a trailer if at all available. Jaco

Fellow Adventurers. I am looking to do a trip down to Hilton for a weekend in November. Looking for some route suggestions, obv more dirt, less tar. Nothing seriously technical, as I don't feel like picking up bikes on my own or worse. Thoughts were JHB - Sasol - Vaal - Reitz - then I need...

Any GP Dogs going to stofskop on the 12th August? I will be making my way out with my eldest, and see what this thing is all about. We riding from Honeydew side, but nothing set in stone yet.

Is it just me, or do these not last more than a year? On my std 8gs, I had to replace a bulb at least once a year. This morning on the 8GSA, I get Lamp warning. Main beam dead. I suppose they don't make lightbulbs like they used to?

Adulting seem to be easier for some. From an outside perspective, it seems that everything just falls into place, and people proceed to live happily ever after. The End. This weekend, from the outside it would appear that everything fell into place, and it came to fruition, that my son and I...

I joined this forum in January 2006, shortly after I bought my first motorcycle. A BMW 650 dakar. This Bike I rode to approximately 110 000kms before selling her on. During this time, Ride reports on this forum showed me many amazing places this country has to offer. One of the places that...

I was not going to do a ride report mainly since I am lazy, and I mostly take in view, and end up forgetting to stop to take photographs. I ended up taking a couple of snaps, and thought I may be able to hammer some semblance of a report together. I was extended an invitation to stay a couple of...

I bought a F800GS with the Givi outback Trekker Topbox mounted on the SRA5103 aluminium baseplate. Givi has a handy system where most of their boxes are interchangeable to their baseplates. The SRA5103 has a max weight load of 6kg. Paired with the trekker topbox, it reduces to the effective...

Do I replace or repair? Keeping in mind a new plate is about 2 gorillas. Can easily get a new plate cut and bent, the only issue is where the box locks into place, seems to be a proprietary thing fixed into place with some lugs and epoxy. Any thoughts ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
