Howzit guys, Anyone with kids know that they grow too fast. I've got 3 boys who pass their kit down from eldest to youngest. They've all got boots, but the eldest has outgrown his ballistic vest (middle son has inherited it). They also all need gloves. So, I'm looking for: Ballistic vest (for...

Since moving from Cape Town to Barberton, Mozambique is much closer, and I'm thinking of doing a trip up there. I've never been to Moz, so it would be really useful for me to hear from everyone their "must see" beaches, bars, restaurants, resorts, camp sites, etc? Equally important would be a...

Looking for some lekker spots (near Barberton) to take the kids when our bikes arrive from the Cape.

My middle son is 5, and he inherited a helmet from a friend of mine at work about 3 years back. It's an old helmet, and the padding is in a bad state now. I'd like to know where I can take the helmet to get the padding replaced/repaired please. Thanks!

I've been working my backside off the past couple of weeks - so much so that Charlene and I decided to postpone celebrating our wedding anniversary for a week or two. A baby sitter was arranged, and we decided to go for a ride! What an awesome wife I have!  (I'm pretty sure that a 9 year...

I'd like to take my dad on a "green route/novice" ride next month, and thought of the old HouwHoek pass. From Grabouw, I thought of riding Viljoen's pass, then round to Van Der Stel's pass, to Bot Rivier and finally doing the old Houw Hoek pass, and then back to Grabouw. I've never ridden in...

This afternoon, my middle son had a swimming lesson, and my wife was out, so I was told at the last minute to get Micah to the pool. I got his stuff together, and ran into the garage... his words to me were: "I want to go on the red one". So, XR it was. I was in a rush. I Put Micah on, jumped...

WANTED... My dad has shown some real interest in getting a bike. His hip is currently giving him a bit of trouble, so it'll need to be a fairly low bike. His budget is also not very high - up to about R8k or R10k. My ideal bike for him would be a running XT 500 that needs cosmetic attention...

At the moment I have an ugly UFO headlight, and want to replace it with the standard US model one (like in the pic below). My problem is that the light will probably not be bright enough. Have any of you experimented with high-bright LED's behind some kind of lens as a headlight option. The...

My great uncle passed away a short while ago, and there is an old (but well restored) 1975 Suzuki RV 125 available from the estate. Does anyone know what it's worth? What would you pay for it? Thanks!

It's with a sad heart that I say my trusty old CTX is no more.  :'( I'm looking for a real cheap commuter bike that can get me to work and back home daily (about 45km round trip between Table View & Town). It would be nice if the bike that I get can do offroad stuff aswell, but it's not a...

I'm looking for an Acerbis 23 litre tank for my XRR. Preferably 2nd hand, as I have a limited budget. I can spend between R2000 and R3000, depending on the condition. If you have one for sale, or know of someone who would like to sell, please let me know? Thanks!  :thumleft:

A friend of mine is looking for an XR600. Preferably a '97 or newer, in good condition, with RWC. Bike must be in the Western Cape. I think he's prepared to pay up to R25000. Please keep your ears to the ground. Thanks guys!  :thumleft:

A noob friend of mine asked me if he could join me on a ride someday. Well, that day is tomorrow. Hopefully there are enough riders interested. I'm not going anywhere near the squatter camp, but strength in numbers is a good deterrent. Meet at the Caltex garage on Gie road at about 4pm...

I'm looking for life jackets for my two boys (ages 6 and 3). Let me know what you've got and how much you want for it please?

I've recently bought a PW50 for my 5yr old son, but the little guy (2 yrs) is already climbing on and wanting to ride. Does anyone have a set of training wheels for the PW50 please? I'm looking for the ones that fit under the footpegs, not the crappy plastic kiddies bicycle ones that I've seen...

So, Jethro (our 5 year old son) has been asking us for quite a while now to have a sleepover at Aunty Melissa's house with Kendra. Micah (our 2 year old son) tagged along, so Shaz and I had the day to ourselves. We decided to go for a ride on the bikes. A jersey dress and tights were not going...

Not much of a ride report - more like half an hour in the parking lot, and a bit more than that in the dirt near Parklands. My wife was getting the hang of the bike. It's her first time on a bike since her scooter in high school. At the parking lot, I asked her if she was having fun, and if...
