Can't remember the size, but I'm 1.75m tall and weigh 74kg and it fits me perfectly. With armour, winter and water layers. Jacket used for a season, pants just 3 times so they'relike new. Cost me R6k but make me an offer. Sunninghill, Johannesburg.

These were the modes of transport: #1 with over 6000km is my first electric. It's a bicycle. Does 65km/h, 0-50km/h in about 3 seconds, has a range of 50km, weighs 38kg and is loads of fun offroad! Here's a video: Uphill speed run on my bike #2 with a tad under 4000km is my most recent...

The time has come to sell my fantastic little TW. We've had a lot of fun together, been to interesting places, and had some fantastic rides. I love this bike, it's like a friendly little dog, so I feel bad about not taking it out to play as often as I used to. The reason for that is that I've...

Need to have some strengthening arms attached to my bicycle which must be strong and fit quite precisely. Anyone know where I can find a decent machine shop to do that? Close to sandton if possible. Thanks.

So following on from my flashing LED auxiliary headlights which seemed to work really well (https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=30064) I've added the same to the rear of my bike, in red this time. Again I used a 3 position switch, this time I've ignored the alternate flashing and...

  I've had a couple of cars turn in front of me while on my bike, and a few more pull out of intersections in front of me. Fortunately I've been able to avoid them so far. You'd think a big bright headlight would get you seen, but it's almost invisible to the other cars. I bought these lights...

So this weekend I was with Jerrycan and Linda's on one of their epic adventures. Unfortunately Linda took a fairly serious fall today. Travelling at about 70km/h on a gravel road we came to a deep patch of sand, possibly with embedded rock or two. Jerrycan and myself made it through (thank...

Ok so I've got a colleague here from the states for a month, and he'd like to have something to run around on. Now as far as I know the cheapest bike to rent is a KLR for R6/R700 a day, so what he's thinking of doing is buying a small cheap 200 or 250 like a TW or a djebel and then selling it...

First let me start by stating I was using my cellphone camera, if you want to see decent pics you'll need to go here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=13333.0 So I needed to go pick up a jacket from Jerrycan, and when I call I hear they're giving the Tdubs a bath. I rock up...

Had a friend help me with a solution for carrying some extra fuel. Anyway, he thought my rear rack with space for the jerry cans was overcomplicated, and came up with a much simpler solution. I think it's great. Here's the view from the front: You can see the jerry cans sticking out the side...

Just noticed that my TW has one torn fork boot. Who sells those, and is it a huge job to fit it?

Called the call centre 2 months ago and they put me on the waiting list. I was supposed to receive an sms in 10 days but it arrived this morning. So friday at 12 it's me, but I think it means I won't be able to attend a training day like the bmw one. Is it necessary, I'm on a TW200, which is...

I have every friday afternoon off, usually leave at 2pm, but can leave at 1 if I like. Where should I go ride today? PS I'm in sunninghill

Ok so this was posted on the tw200 forum all about light touring, and now I just have to have one. Besides ordering online anyone else know where I can get one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Cyo5bEDWU Cheers

So I've become used to free parking everywhere since I got the bike, and now I'm off to the airport (jhb) tonight to say cheers to a friend. Anyone know where to park and how to avoid the pay stations? Cheers, Patrick

So you were expecting a crash type story because the ATTGATT got in the way right. Well you're not getting one! It's become a personal pet peeve, so either I want to set everyone straight with my full 5 months biking knowledge, or I want someone to explain why I shouldn't get annoyed. So here...

I live in a small dead-end street, only 150m long, there are only 2 driveways, one to my complex, and another to an office building. So I'm driving out of the street towards the robot, and a silver C class is turning left into the street. The C class takes the turn a little wide, and then just...

Ok I know that the early bird catches the worm, but to be honest I've never really had a taste for worm, not even the one at the bottom of the tequila bottle... So that's why I've only been on one wild dogs ride, though it was the noob ride from hell... Since then I've done plenty of riding on...

Ok it's not on the bike but on my paramotor, but you guys are smart enough to help im sure! 100cc 2 stroke was leaking water, thought the headbolts might be a little loose so I set about tightening them. Unfortunately my inbuilt torque wrench seems non functional so I snapped the bolt off just...

Ok so I've added about 2000kms in the last couple of weeks since I got my bike and I think I'm ready to do a ride with some of you guys. Problems: 1) I'm on a tw200 so I'm kind of slow... 2) I have no idea where to start. 3) My dirt experience is limited to probably about 100km of the 2000 I've...
