As I was riding home yesterday on the N2 on my slow padbike with the kak suspension, I inevitably got stuck behind queues of cars where overtaking is unsafe. I noticed that the turbulence behind certain cars/suv's/vans varies a lot. Fortuners are the worst, it is so bad that you cannot keep your...

I am looking for some contact details for motorcycle tire dealers in George - they need to be able to fit as well. Currently I only know of Thundercycles in York Street? Shot

So, I gave myself a year to get used to the T7 (and lose some weight). Needless to say, I failed at the weight thing... I weight around 105kg's (I have big bones ok) and I do put some unnecessary strain on the T7's standard suspension. I did manage to bottom out the rear once or twice during...

For the nice and warm riding days, I got myself a pair of Alpinestars Bionic Flex Knee Protectors to go with my nice Alpinestar MX pants. These knee protectors have like a Velcro tightener and a silicone band (like some cycling shorts have too) at the top to prevent it from sliding down your...

I did my first proper off-road trip with my T7 during the WC Bash. Whilst transversing some rough terrain (especially corrugations), I became aware of a clacking noise in the front. Is this normal?

Almost new Tornado (not from a Honda Tornado, from https://tornadodevelopments.co.za/product-category/exhaust-systems/) exhaust for CRF300L. Can be used with or without standard heat shield. It has a db killer but is on the loud side. This was used for about five hours only so basically still...

I am toying with the idea of getting a motorcycle specific shed as the bike is a bit in the way in the garage and it is a bit of a pain to get it in and out. It has to keep elements out (very humid and salty air here). I have seen some beautiful versions on YouTube, but not a lot available in...

I bought this brand new from Honda Tygerberg in November 2021. Currently on 5000 km. First service at 1000 kmm with Honda. I have done an annual service and replaced air filter, oil filter and Motul 5100. Service parts except oil bought from Honda. I have added the following: Lower and wider...

Asking for a friend...anyone selling or planning to sell soon? Budget around R130K.

I am looking for some suggestions on some cooler summer riding gear. Maybe a chest protector or similar. Which options are best - the full type with shoulder and elbow guards, the type with just chest and shoulder guards, or the type with just chest protection? Full type...

I was eyeing the annual spitbraai at Oasis with anticipation, but the open spots disappeared quite quickly. Fortunate some spots opened in Keith’s group last minute, so I jumped at the opportunity. I left Thursday after work to meet up with @Challa at his place in Brackenfell. I was treated...

I am looking for a bolt on solution for my CRF300L.  Any ideas where I can get one? :thumleft:

So the Djebel my buddy bought from me giving some issues. We went for a ride the other day and the Djebel just died. Struggled to start with some spluttering but we eventually got it started by push starting. The bike did it a few times during the ride and almost had to be pushed home. Couldn't...

Owners, please add. I got my brand new CRF300L end of last year posted some thoughts here: https://78.46.70.48/forum/index.php?topic=255577.msg4742578#msg4742578 https://78.46.70.48/forum/index.php?topic=255577.msg4746234#msg4746234 Since then I have added some pimpin' upgrades from Flying...

I need some proper boots as my W2 Touring numbers are good for touring only. What can I look at sub R5K (we all have a budget)? O'Neil Riders were rated good value for money at one stage. Gearne makes a nice GX1 and I saw some Leatt numbers as well. Takelot sells Fox but I have heard some not...

Hey, I am looking for a set of steering bearings for a 1995 XT 600E. It seems all XT600 used the same bearings? From what I have read it looks like BMG 32005 and 32006 - is this correct? TracMac lists a set as well -  341-SBK004 - will that work? Sorry for the questions, but I have to order...

While fitting new sprockets/chain to Barney and waiting for a few parts to arrive, I decided to pull the swingarm apart as I wanted to check the bearings etc.  I loosened the swingarm pivot bolt but the bolt is stuck proper. It does turn but you can feel the bearings is on the rough side, but I...

Rear brake was barely functioning so first step was to try and bleed as the fluid looked like coffee. The bleeding nipple broke of after several attempts of trying to loosen even with using penetrating oil. Currently at engineering shop but it does not look good. Does anyone have a spare...

Anything for sale? Acerbis long range tank, white would be first prize. 1995 Yamaha XT600E. Thanks
