Howdy! KnopKop and I will be doing a trip out west from mid to end August. We are going to trailer the bikes to Upington area to save the buts and rubber for the rest of the trip (and really not too much fun riding there from Pretoria anyway!). So I really need a place to park the bakkie and...

Swaziland - fully charged! Last year December a couple of pelle went to Swaziland and I was regretting every moment of not being able to go along.  The baby wasn't even 6 months old and mommy wasn't in a mood to negotiate.  Four months make a lot of difference, so when Deon made the slightest...

Ai, the phone call / message every friend dreads. Knopkop crashed out on his GS800 in Clarens on a FS bash outride.  He broke 3 ribs and collar bone.  The bike was not  toooo damaged.  I spoke with him and he's doing good.  He's awaiting opinion from the orthopedic surgeon and will probably be...

Ok... own up - who's the guy (or gal) on the 990Adv popping a wheelie down Botha avenue in Centurion this afternoon?  Closely followed by another bike (Aprillia or something) ALSO kapping a wheelie!!!  :drif: Quite a sight to behold - these two bikes dicing on the rear wheels for about 100m or...

I bought my bike with dual HIDs fitted and a while back the low beam light stopped working.  Through a process of swapping stuff around I determined that the bulb was still OK, but the one balast seems to have died.  I have the box the HIDs came in - I think it was bought overseas, so I don't...

So today was my first outing to Wild West close to Harties.  When Pieter invited me I had to think twice, because I cannot think of a single time when he invited me along for an easy ride!  But it has been a while since I've been on the 450, so I reluctantly accepted :) Shortly after arriving...

On 6 October last year I had a slight altercation with a gold Mercedes Benz and I ended up with a broken collar bone (not Leatt brace related! ;) ) The doctor decided to operate and upgraded me with a plate and 8 screws.  It healed pretty nicely.  On a follow-up visit to the doctor, I asked if...

So the other morning I pulled off the road and was about to get back on when I struck a manhole - without a cover!  It was quite overgrown and not marked at all, and with the revvs too low to even try and blip the front wheel over, there was absolutely no way to either avoid or clear it! ...

So this morning I met up with a friend of mine and three of his friends for a lekker early off-road outride.  I was on the G450X and all of them on Quads.  So we parked at the Engen garage on the corner of Nellmapius and Boeing and set off towards Kempton Park on the gravel road that eventually...

Ok, so I'm working on a little project to compile a short list of tracks to ride in your lifetime roundabout South Africa.  The purpose is to end up with about 5 or so tracks, that having ridden them all, you can pat yourself on the back and say "Well done, buddy!". I was hoping that you could...

Calling all Wild Dog vendors/suppliers - I'm shopping around for a Leatt Club neck brace (new). Anyone here flogging it?  And what am I looking at paying?  I'm in Pretoria area.  Please let me know by forum post / PM / email at marnusp<at>gmail<dot>com Thanks in advance, Marnus

Yup... I also have to confess that I've been a dirty old dog and have been barking up a number of trees (uhm, threads) and still have to introduce myself  :P Ok, so I ride a BMW 1200GS - by choice.  Been to some awesome places with it, but there are many, many more wanting to be visisted.  I...
