So I am toying with the idea of shipping my 1150GSA over to the UK where I now live. It seems there are relatively few here in the UK and they are expensive when they pop up on Autotrader. I have owned my for quite a few years, love it and know the bike so would love to keep it. Apart from the...

So last year when my life took another turn and I knew I was relocating to the UK, I started a list of places to visit, events to attend, things to do, roads to drive (as per Top Gear). Having been here since January, I have started working my way through the list. The most outstanding thus far...

Your valuable input please. My 1150 GSA will be sitting in the garage for minimum 6 months before I get to ride it again. Please comment on what to do to it before I leave. Battery on smart charger ? Drain fuel or not ? Spray with  Q20 or the like and cover with tarp ? Thank you.

Selling my home made (not by me) 3 bike trailer. All paperwork in order and new license. Very sturdy and painted with a very good 'anti chip' type paint. 3 x bike channels are galvanized. Tailgate is removed and inner is used as a ramp. Jockey wheel has since been replaced with a new one...

Ok, so its time to sell my first bike, so this is not easy. It was not a midlife crisis purchase but rather a 'always wanted a bike and now Im divorced, I can do what I like' purchase. This bike has taking me to many good places both on tar, on dirt and in my head. It saw me through a mucky 5...

As the title of this thread suggests, where can one buy this stuff. My 1150's wiring harnesses seem to have cracked protective sleeving all over the place. I have seen others comments about a similar problem too. It looks ugly and leaves the wires exposed so I want to clean it up. I want the...

So my trusty KLR has a little problem. I think its throwing a tantrum because a BMW 1150 GSA is now in the garage and getting some attention. On Tuesday I rode the KLR 75km no problem. Wed morning, it fired up as usual and I rode to work. Wed evening I get on bike to leave work and the shit...

Yup, you guys have had a serious influence on this purchase.  It started when Gerrard let me buy his R100RS and experience the throb of a boxer and the joy of German engineering. EssBee and The Badger for letting me trail in the dust of their 1200 Motherships on my trusty KLR but never leaving...

Im asking this on behalf of Achi, a young lady from Israel that is touring our country before heading off up through Africa. She is travelling alone and looking to do Sani. I understand that the conditions change from weekend to weekend but who of you have been up there recently ? Any feedback...

This is the VIN from my sons KX85. Can anyone please tell me what year this is or how to find out ? Thanks

My KX250 only gets used on the odd occasion when the moons align and my son is with me, he has no school sport or homework, there is nothing else planned etc. I then find my bike real bitch to start. Sometimes a new sparkplug does the trick. Last weekend, it fired after a new plug but then ran...

So my 2004 Fugly is getting on a bit, about to clock over 70k km. The PO put on the first 50k km which I consider running it in. You see he never went off road and commuted to work 70km each day on the motorway, so it has an easy life. I have done the last 20k km and it has served me well, been...

Do any vendors sell anything like the Pelican/Tuff case ? For my purposes, I could do with a cheaper 'local is lekker' type case. I do not need all the fancy pressure release valve and foam block inside etc If nobody has anything but can point me in the right direction of anybody who does sell...

I have to do the mod on my KLR exhaust because the 'tweeter/spark arrestor' has come loose inside. Going to drill out end with 50mm cutter, remove lose bit and screw on end cap for a nice finish. Any WD Vendors that can quote me a  similar end cap, shipped to Durban, much appreciated.

Im somewhat of a novice when it comes to ADV riding and even more so when it comes to MX riding. Ive only been riding for 5 years and its not like Im 20 years old either. I did however find that once I started riding an MX bike, I felt more comfortable and confident on my KLR. Now my son also...

I will be spending the weekend at DocKLR in Walkerville. Anybody that has a parcel that needs to get down to Durban, Get it to the Doc and I will gladly take it down for you. Will be leaving GP probably lunchtime-ish. PS, my time up there is limited so I cant run around collecting or waiting...

On the weekend I was messing around in the garage with EssBee and his newly aquired GSA. 1. I noticed that there is an indentation in the plastic of the fuel tank. Its on the RHS only and only visible from the front, looking through the forks. Its a depression in the tank about the size of a...

After EssBee's off this weekend and reading about some other accidents, there is always the questions on what has to be dealt with after an accident. First Aid, Drivers details (if a collision), Police case number for insurance etc. The other big one of course is our beloved bikes. The rider may...
