We were going to do Lesotho 18 April - 5 May,  spending 23 - 30 April in Lesotho itself. Countryside still green, (That's why we are not doing it in Sept/Oct), less rain and less chance of freezing weather and snow. Due to a work deadline that might not be reached, we have to change our plans. ...

I am short :-\ (ok, VERY short - 1.58m or 5ft2) and would like to be able to ride my husband's 1100.  I don't come close to touching the ground, although the seat is in the lower position.  I have a 650 that has been lowered (seat, shocks and spring) and wondered how much one can do to the 1100...

Too much sitting and too many hours staring into a screen  :spitcoffee: has taken its toll and if I don't get out on my bike  :ricky: I surely will succumb to tons of wine, women (ok Men!) and song! I can't drink liquor cause it puts me to sleep after a few sips, I can't indulge in men cause I...

This family took the bike with a side car and went on a vacation. But it didn't quite turn out as they expected. Yet as a professional photographer, his pictures tell the entire story without any words needed. Mihai does not think there would be any scope for a coffee table book, but I totally...

I am a lucky girl! Getting to go with my dad on an adventure trip. He's almost 75 and has a lot of pain with his back and knees (we both have Osteo-arthritis in the knees and makes every pain free day on a bike a miracle). Before his knee replacements he'd like to find out why his crazy...

I know this is a bit late in the day, as we are almost ready to leave, but we've made sudden changes and now not sure if it can be done by bike and if there might be complications. We will get to Windhoek with a car and trailer to save time. 1. Can we go from Windhoek directly to Botswana (via...

Ek was verbaas om die uitnodiging te kry… Het al vir ‘n paar weke lank ‘n klomp mal bikers se heen-en-weer emails met ‘n gllimlag gevolg en kon sommer sien dit sou ‘n trippie van epiese proporsies wees. Maar dit was ‘n groep ouens (manskappe soos ons later bekend sou staan) en ‘n vrou sou net...

Toni and I are in your area (Knysna) and want to know if anyone out there is keen on showing us a bit of your valley on Saturday? Friday would be better if you are not working.... We have gone over to Angie's and a few of the popular passes like the Phantom, Homtini stuff, but maybe you know of...

Yikes! Do all men have such small calves? I have tried on several riding boots. I do a lot of off road standing and need a boot with the metal going through the sole, but can only find the long boots, and none of them fit around my calves?!! Does anyone know of these kind of boots that only go...

I have tried on several riding boots. I do a lot of off road standing and need a boot with the metal going through the sole, but can only find the long boots, and none of them fit around my calves?!! Does anyone know of these kind of boots that only go till over the ankle and not all the way up...

How about donating your organs? This is about a friend of mine and I would be accompanying him a little way on his trip from George. All he needs from us is your Name, surname and postal address. These guys will send you all the goodies you need, also a sticker-thing you carry on yourself for...
