    My Kove 450 Rally February 2024

    Oh zuddup Petri, is me getting older obvious? 😋 The Kove's a Rally bike, therefore perfect for those type of long tours. But it's not an enduro mountain goat, so it took some strain in Lesotho.... where John & me were dicing up some long rocky shite tracks where the belly took some hits. John...

    My Kove 450 Rally February 2024

    There was Dom, indeed mine - but during our recent Wildcoast trip Gideon Joubert, his bakkie's backup driver and sterling rider himself, who knows the areas well where we'll be going, mentioned I rather bring my 500 due to the rocky technical stuff we'll be doing, Robbie's Pass only a part of...

    My Kove 450 Rally February 2024

    I just now returned from Namibia, Hardy's Specialized Adventures Kaokoland May Tour, which I did on the Kove. And a week or so before that I did Wildwood's Lesotho/Wildcoast tour also, after which the forks were tended to by Foxi above. I'll report on this all later, unpacking my shit and other...

    Thoughts on the Kove 450 Rally whilst riding through the Richtersveld

    After having done around 5K km's on mine (a tour in the southern Drakensberg, Lesotho & Transkei plus a tour of the Kaokoland I just came back from) that bit is the understatement of what you (well!) wrote - the Kove leaves the 500 in the dust on long stretches and does this really very...

    For Sale XT600 34L Tenere project *SOLD*

    Sorry, correction @superfoxi & @sidetrack - that will be between 18 May & 15 June also, like in addition - both periods suit me as I will have to cart my bike up or down to the fair Cape! We'll chat no doubt, both of you have my number (y)

    Tenere 34L fettling

    Of course, I told you so - the oil moved "away" overnight so there was a gap (excuse my pun please) for the spark to ignite, hence it started. Sorry Welsh, but there's no castrol-proof gasket maker, refer my above "away" but read 'ground' of course.

    Tenere 34L fettling

    You're telling me that Pick&Pay has stopped selling their housebrand of recycled&filtered engine oil????? Daayum, now I'll have to go search for my vehicles' oil needs....

    Excellent choice of oil, and even I will admit that there are, however rare, applications for when to use Castrol oil ..... and this is the one! (y)
