I have often wondered how accurate different makes and models of bikes speedometers are, So lets make some comparisons. Take your bikes speed up to 100klm on your GPS and then compare it with the bikes speedo. Whatever the bikes speedo reads will obviously be the percentage it over or under...

The trouble with adventure bike riding is that the more you ride, the less new roads there are to see, and one has to venture further and further from home to find them. Luckily maps fascinate me, and I can spend hours and hours looking at them on Mapsource and Google Earth, and you will be...

I know the KLR's air filter needs to be cleaned regularly, But how regularly is regularly? I ride a fair amount of dirt and some of roads down our way are pretty dusty. Could you KLR boffins please advise. Next question, Once I have cleaned it, what oil or whatever do I use so soak it in in...

I have just replaced my Kawasaki KLE with a KLR. and am a little concerned with the recommended Tyre pressure, which is 1.5 front and rear. I only weigh 71kg, But on dirt I get the feeling that the rear Tyre is a little soft, and I am worried about getting a snake bite, The KLE which is +- 5kg...

Dont know if it's just in East London but BIKE SA is not on the shelves yet 1-11-10, Has it gone the same way as 2 Wheels?

A couple of months ago, my friend Neville (w/d Mr P) suggested that we do a ride to Port Alfred one Saturday morning and then spend the afternoon exploring the area. Then ride back to East London on Sunday, I thought this was a great idea but suggested that we should rather do as much as...
