    'Dropped valve', is this common and what next?

    Yup, you see Debbie's been riding for 40 years and she's still on L plates.

    'Dropped valve', is this common and what next?

    Hello Pete. I gave up and bought another DR650, they are still pretty new here. Went for a ride from Bowen River Lodge to the Burdekin dam over the last couple of days with Debbie.

    KLX 300 vs CRF 300

    Sidetrack. I ride it (the tech stuff) often. The CRF is a nice ride and very quiet but as much of a lump weight wise as the new DR I've eventually aquired. I gave in and got a replacement. The KLX300 is substantially lighter and easier to throw around than the CRF and also the Yamaha we never...

    Lesotho Ride

    Lot of familiar places here Jon, nice to see the Tsoelike valley again. Great to see Trevor riding again. Have to admit I haven't put my Tubliss back in after leaving RSA, much easier going here.

    Meeting with Andrew and Thomas Bain - Route Description Added

    I didn't and I'm pretty sure the trip was canned.

    GPS or Tablet?

    Both of my faithful Etrex units have gone tits up so I have had to change. I have got on quite well with an android phone with OSMand but I am leaning towards the free level of Giai GPS because you can plan a track on your computer on OSM or earth and share it with your phone. Track recording is...

    Feeling just a bit jealous here. Ride hard and don't f@#k yourselves up!

    Australia.... The Island Saga...TwoOhTuTu

    We've adjusted. We are citizens now, my wife has a real passport to use. I feel more respected and useful in my job as a hospital consultant dentist than I ever did in RSA. The riding is limited but I've just been on a 3 day ride sleeping out with a swag with a nice couple of guys on KTM890's in...

    So my wife asked me …..

    In the WFO in the 80's we had a veteran called Ken Whittlesea who was a bit flash with his white 7 series Beemer and his white KTM's. Ken had a lot of bikes but they were all white and he kept them at Keith Dovey's place so his wife only ever saw one white bike at a time and I'm sure to this day...

    Yamaha Energy Induction Boost Bottle

    Thanks to that photo I know know exactly the day I got the large scar on my arm and why I bled like a stuck pig when I got pissed at prize giving. I genuinely believed that Mr Yamaha had put something very important on my bike and I wouldn't have dreamt of trying to ride without it.

    Is KTM going away from "autolube" again?

    Oh boy! Just when I was coming round to buying a small KTM.

    Noneking and Dwerg dodging kudu in Baviaans

    Thought you would have to have a DR650 with an O/E exhaust to get that close to a kudu!

    Seen Kawasaki KLX 450R

    Didn't realise that they'd made it into RSA. I've got one, at 126kg fueled up and with a big flywheel weight that makes it feel like an old KTM450 this is no lightweight 200 2 stroke. But you will LOVE the grunt. Swap out the 13 front for a 15 and a big tank it makes a pretty good adventure...

    Noisy ATG Stretcher

    Cracklin may be right. I thought it was an RSA product but I've seen them here in AU with a different (and quieter) fabric. However, you only need one snorer in the group to cover up all the squeaking noises.

    Finding a Gee in two eicH's

    I can remember you on that bike. The time I still have a visual memory of was coming over the rise into the paddock of the Pietermaritzburg enduro and seeing your bike on the trailer behind your red combi which had frost on the roof because you had arrived so early. Date was 10/7/1983 and it was...
