    Cape Gables. Case study of Kerk Straat, Tulbagh.

    In 2009 I posted about the gables on Kerk Straat in Tulbagh.  The site I used has since closed.  I have linked to that original posting in other threads I have written - so the links lead nowhere now.  Additionally the thread got regular casual visitors as it had been picked up elsewhere and...

    Context: In November We are going to take a Austrian couple for a trip to the Kamiesberg in our 4WD Terios.  We took them to Wuppertal/Doring crossing/Gannaga/Midelpos/Ouberg last year which they much appreciated.  We will stay on a private farm near Leliefontein.  From there we plan 2 day...

He travels alone but returns to...

    Garmin for the wife - which?

    I have a 660 so also have Mapsource & am familiar with it all. My wife is going to Dubai.  She suggests buying a GPS for herself there.  She only needs it for finding places in the City (Cape Town) or round about.  For trips we use the 660.  Her needs: 1. Lower end of price range. 2. Just for...

    Zumo 660. Map Detail query

    I changed my failed Zumo 550 for a 660.  I find the scrolling of maps SLOW (compared to my 550).  It also takes ages to find the satellites. I have Streetmaps 2010.3 NT.  This map series has much more detail than the previous maps.  Particularly it shows the outlines of all the buildings (at...

    Zumo 660. How to plan a UK trip?

    1. I recently traded in my failed 550 on a 660. 2. I have not really used the 660.  But it seems MUCH slower to refresh the screen after dragging it than the 550.  Is that true? 3. I would like to plan a trip in the UK.  I can, with a lot of persistence & patience, drag the map up through...

    Old DSTV remote needed

    I think I have the original model of DSTV decoder.  The remote has packed up.  Replacements are not shown on the DSTV website.  Even replacements for the current non PVR decoders are not listed as far as I can see. Anyone got one of these I can buy? Will the remote for the current decoder work...

    Mapsource - How to find fuel?

    I am planning a trip in Mapsource.  Now I want to see where fuel is available.  What is the easiest way to do it? What I would really like is for all the fuel stations to be displayed (like the airfields are).  Then at a glance I could see where to go.  Is that possible? If you use Right click...

    I want to be able to move the BMW top box between my Dakar & TW200.  I have got the necessary BMW bracket but the top box comes with two small black inserts that are required.  They are not available as spare parts.  Atlantic Motorrad does not have any that have come from a crashed bike.  I...

    I know someone wanting to sell his TW200.  2 years old but only a genuine 600km on the clock; bike like new. Current new price is R34500.  I am advised that R6000 less is about right so R28500 is asking price.  I will give his contact number to those interested.  Bike is in Table View area.

    Zumo spare part from Hong Kong. How?

    The digitiser on my Zumo 550 has failed.  I can get a replacement from Hong Kong for $30 (R225).  The DHL courier charge is also $30.  Expensive but OK.  The problem is DHL has a bad reputation for charging a fortune for the customs & VAT administration so the R225 DHL charge may be R700 just...

    Wanted F650 single top box mounting frame - damaged is fine.

    I have a single seat on my F650 Dakar.  I have mounted a cut down mounting bracket (without the pillion passenger handles) so the top box fits further forward & lower.  (Flikr off line right now so no picture). I want to do the same on my TW200.  Anybody got a damaged frame from a F650 single. ...
