I have two well used Bell 500 open face helmets available to swop for a beer. They are branded Harley Davidson so might work in someones mancave. Collection in Wellington

I loaded my 1200GSA on the Ranger Supercab but needed to leave the bin open. Not sure you'll be able to close it. EDIT: Both the 690 and the GSA have a 1.5m wheel base and differ by only 3mm. Measure the bin.

I have one of each and use them all. Apart from the peak for glare, the adventure helmet has far superior ventilation which is important for slow technical riding. I use a modular helmet when touring with the wife and riding around town but prefer my Arai TX4 if I had to keep just one.

If you fitted the Toys2Go rear rack, the grab handles my just solve the problem you have with the big bag.

Daai is meer charcoal as swart, blykbaar fade die swart na 'n ruk. Dit maak definitief makliker skoon.

Petri, die headers op my XR het nou 5000km op na ceramic coating.

The K50 or GS LC arrived in SA during 2013 so you would have old and new models registered in 2013. The Adventure (K51) only arrived in 2014 so any GSA registered up to 2013 would be the previous model. What is your budget? That might help

Sealant in a tube (like Wynns tyre fix) has been the cause of more than one rapid deflation and at least one accident where I was present. If the tube was patched previously the sealant will dissolve the glue... On longer trips I carry spare tubes and I always carry the equipment to remove and...

I owned expensive waterproof winter gloves (Richa) that worked well in the Western Cape winters. I used them once in the UK and suffered mild frost bite so I went shopping. I settled for a pair of Alpine Stars that worked well enough. I tried them once on a trip to Koedoeskloof last year and...

My set is permanently mounted to the luggage frame of the XR. I'll never leave home without them.

That it is in theory but how it's done in practice by the majority of riders is not legal but most cops won't bother interfering.

I completely understand your reservations. You discussed a deal, he evaluated your trade, agreed a deliverable with a date and he only wrote down your name and number? I too would wonder what else will be forgotten in the process of making a sale and for the duration of ownership. I also see...

I think that the way the tubeless tyre connects with the rim largely prevents the slow puncture turning into sudden loss of pressure common on tubed tyres. However, if said tubeless tyre comes off the bead, the resulting loss in pressure will be similar if not worse than with a tubed tyre...

Funny thing is that most of us almost never go offroad, just off tar and onto dirt road ;)
