Four of us are planning a ride for October sometime and we're looking for biker friendly accommodation in the Napier/Bredasdorp/Arniston area. One night only. I can't seem to access the Interactive Map on that thread anymore.

I like to clean and replace the air filter whenever I can, but please....is there a trick to getting the long bolt with the wing-nut back into the correct position???

Living in the country is great, but now I need new boots and a front tyre fitted. Africa Twin - 90/90-R21 Where would I be able to get both near Barrydale that would save me a trip of 250km to Cape Town?  :-\ Anything in Worscester, Mossel Bay, Oudtshoorn? Google hasn't been much help.

Anyone carry CO2 cartridges (bombs) with them on rides instead of a compressor? After being let down by a faulty compressor and fuses being blown, I've decided to try the simpler bomb and adapter route. I've bought a few 25g and some 16g cartridges, but how many would I need to use to get to...

So...just got my front tyre balanced and now my AT DCT is stuck in 1st gear with the engine light on permanently????? Help please, I need to ride it home. :eek7: :eek7:

First of all, thank you to SchalkL for selling me this brilliant bike. My first 2 day trip around the Overberg and Karoo on this machine and I'm absolutely loving it! Not much more that I can say, but here are some pics.  :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Anyone in the Cape Town area selling an Africa Twin with low km please? Maybe a 2 to 4 year old bike should be in my price range.

Anyone done the short ride along the railway line service road between Atlantis and Darling recently? I last did it a few years ago and want to do it this weekend. Wanted to know if there were any security issues along there?

A friend of mine is looking to buy a bike. He hasn't ridden for a while, and neither of us really know what to look for. Anyone know this bike/owner from the Strand area? https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-motorcycles-scooters/strand/bmw-r-1200-gs-for-sale/1002330304630910006471209

Who uses tyre pressure monitors? (if you don't already have one of the fancy new bikes that come standard with this) Is it worthwhile spending the money? https://www.takealot.com/tyre-care-motorcycle-pressure-monitoring-system/PLID49225178

Our first ride to Die Hel. Left Porcupine Rest Camp at about 8.30, through Seweweekspoort, Groenfontein Road to Kobus se Gat at the start of Swartberg Pass. The first half of the road to Die Hel was easy going, but the rest was littered with small sharpish stones. Apparently they had recently...

Planning a ride in the next few weeks and one of the sleepovers will be in or around Stillbaai area. Any recommendations on affordable, not too fancy, biker friendly places to stay? Looks like it will only be 2 of us so far.

Anyone in the Cape Town area have good used E07's, TKC80's or Heidenau tires - 150/70 R17  and/or 110/80 R19 for sale please? My 2006 GS1200 is going to be needing front and rear soon, but really don't have about R4000 right now for a new set.

GS1200 headlight protector (needs velcro) - R200 Anakee2 and Anakee3 sets of tyres both with at least 50 to 75% tread - R1000/set or R1800 for both sets (off my GS1200) Parklands, Cape Town.

I managed to buy a set of hardly used Continental Twinduros at a good price for my GS1200 off someone that never rides gravel roads. I've read so many different reviews and opinions, and even a bit nervous as to what to expect. How would they compare to tyres like E07's, or fairly similar...

A friend of mine who isn't on the forum bought a 2014 LC and has just got it back from a service. Was told that due to not riding that often in the last year, the driveshaft has rusted quite badly. Out of warranty and quoted R36 000 by Donfords to repair! Anyone else had this problem? It just...

Planning a ride to Stuisbaai in a few weeks time. Any suggestions for bike friendly accommodation in the area?

Need to top up my oil and was advised to use 15W-50, but can't find it at Midas. Bought some 15W-40 though. Can I use that to top up with?
