A friend of mine, not on the forum, is selling his KTM500 with only 19hrs on the clock. She was bought to be converted into a light adventure bike, but he never got the time and so he bought a 690 with rally tower etc all completed. Been sitting on her finding a reason not to sell her but not...

In late November I'm planning a ride to go see the Langs Neck abandoned tunnel in KZN then ride around the northern KZN battlefields area looking for interesting places and lots of dirt. I have the Battlefields Route Guide but we only have Sat and Sunday to explore so hoping for some suggestions...

I have a 1990s KMX 200 that I would like to get running. Not looking for a restoration but just get it running and maybe make it interesting - i.e. Rat Bike, Cafe Racer. But simple and cheap. Any recommendations for a mechanic that might be interested to take this on? No rush. Must be JHB area...

Hi guys, I am looking for any lekker routes around the north / west of JHB / PTA for a day ride. Preferably with Breedts Neck included as I haven't done that in while. Happy to do around 200 - 300 kms and technical (for big dualies) is ok. Thanks

I bought this old KMX200 a few months ago - after being told it was a KDX 200. I am quite handy with mechanical stuff and have ridden and maintained 2t enduro bikes for a long time. I was keen on a relatively easy first restoration of a KDX but being a KMX has made it more difficult. I believe...

Are there any people that ride with the Icon Variant or Icon Variant Pro helmets on this forum? I recently swapped a MX helmet for an Icon Variant but had to buy a new visor. I ordered a smoked one from Europe and when it arrived realised I bought the Pro version visor which replaced my helmet...

These don't fit my wife anymore. These are size 36 but more likely to fit a 32 or 34. Boot leg bottom. R500 and I am in Randburg, but work in Rivonia. Ryan

So a mate and I are heading from JHB to Mpumalanga this weekend for some Adv Riding and I notice its the Mpumalanga 400 - based in Dullstroom. Many years ago we both martialed two Toyota Desert Races and had a ball. We always talked about following an offroad rally on bikes -he best way!! We did...

Modified with more details and pics: I have a 660 which was bought in 2013 and used quite a lot until about 3 years ago. Comes with car suction cup and cig charger, RAM mount for bike, BMW plug to connect power and hard case. Battery is not good but properly connected to the bike, there's no...

Since getting my XT660R, I have constantly battled with elevating the rear wheel for chain lube, maintenance etc. I have obviously not fitted a centre stand. I mostly lift the bike onto my enduro stand but then it sits on the bash plate below the exhausts and because it is so low, it is a...

Morning Okes. I've had my XT for over 3 years now and use it 2 - 3 times a week to commute. I recently replaced my tyres (Kenda 50 50 rubbish) with Heinenau K60 Scouts which I am loving. The grip on tar is very impressive and I have massive confidence now in the corners. However I have noticed...

Hi guys, I have a brand new Heidenau K60 (100-90-19) scout for sale that I cant use. I need a 21" for my bike so need to sell this. New price is about R1100. Any offers before I take a big knock on trading it at a dealer? I live in Randburg and work at Melrose Arch. Ryan oh eight two 856...

At the weekend Man and Machine Enduro, a part of my Forma boots fell off. And it doesn't seem like it is available. Does anyone out there perhaps have an old buggered pair that I could rob for this part? It is the plastic insert for the top strap. See pic below: Thanks Ryan

Hi guys, I lost my side stand at the GXCC on Saturday and was wondering if anyone had one lying around or spare. KTM has no stock in the country and they are quite expensive. Please let me know if you have something or know of someone that does. Ryan

Back Spring from 800GS 2013 model. Took the spring out and fitted hyperpro 1 month after getting the bike. Will let it go for a dozen beers. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

It was devastating to hear today that my friend Alan Brodie, passed away in a motorcycle accident. We have been riding together since 2013 and have been on many adventures together. Today Alan left this world doing what he loved best. Most definitely the person with the biggest heart I have ever...

I was recently sent this link to this video. Watching it inspired me to plan something similar with a few enduro mates. https://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-videos/best-motorcycle-commercial-youve-ever-seen We'll need to buy suitable bikes for this trip and the thinking is to buy something...
