I do not know where you are from but the Garmin shops are almost everywhere. The BMW navigator is a rebranded Garmin.

(6) Do not get distracted while fastening screws. Thursday evening while at Sandton Motorrad for an event Arno pointed out that my engine guard was loose. I had a bent screw, got it halfway in and decided I'll replace it after the holiday. Guess what happened.

There. The beak protector eventually arrived and after the holiday i had time to install it. Took a bit of effort but I got the holes to align.

This was a pretty decent analysis of the state of protection, without the clickbait from a vendor.

While true that if you really go down hard the padding won't stop your bones from shattering, it is also true that for softer offs (which seems to be my most common accident) the impact is reduced. What Ryan (and others) misses is that not everything in life is binary. It would have been moerse...

Right. So after my little mishap this is my story: I stripped my m03r for PPS mostly due to the fact that one of their employees tried move my bike without my permission, in fact against my instructions. Until you've paid me out, I own the bike. Not yours to move. This to me seemed extremely off...

That is hilarious. I am almost 100% sure there is a horse I do not know about somewhere. I would not know, as long as they look more or less the same I cannot tell them apart in any case.

I made a coal rack from square bar to facilitate better airflow. It worked for that but jissie I had to chop it into very small pieces to be able to handle it. I never experienced lots of bending of the metal, it bent me though in places I didn't know I could bend and realised afterwards I...

is this a new bike or secondhand? There is no way a bike can be balanced. There is a balancing shaft in the engine to stop it from rolling when you change throttle inputs. But that is not an adjustable thing, except if the balancing shaft is way out of spec and that should have been set at...

Geezlike!

The link is correct in the how notes.

I came here to say this. But they got two things wrong. Firstly the website and secondly they said we were a friendly bunch.

I've just completed a course. I will go ask my money back.

If you are handy the "Go Fix Yourself" option seems like a good idea. What did you do with the remaining R20k? I used the excess funds to buy tools to execute the repair, paint the other panels to the same original colour, and new boots to avoid injuries

Wel it works out to 10.3 m/s and that is about 1 G, or Gravity, but in the wrong direction. So yes I am glad I did not take pictures as well of the injuries.

Understandable yes. I mean I could use any old scrappy part and claim to fix it and then a month later claim again. I saved all the invoices for the original parts though if queries arise later. But I will now throw away all the old parts.

I commute when I do not need to drop the little monkey off at school or pick her up. I have only about 4km to work but take the time every day, boots (what I consider light motorcycle boots), full gear which includes riding pants and jacket and neck brace, and then if I have to dress up I take...

I agree spares are available. In this case, however, the difference in price was not enough for me to shoot for second hand. I found the agents very accommodating. If you are interested in pictures of the damage and repair, and having a laugh at my stupid mistakes, you can read all about it...

This is the thing that got me. No one wanted to commit to anything until they saw the bike. They won't tell you this beforehand.

The crash bars did exactly what they were supposed to do. Mild steel crash bar hitting a solid, immovable object at 37km/h will and should bend. If it was a solid stainless steel bar Sir, I put it to you the engine casing would have likely cracked being manufactured of a much more brittle...
