Jo, incredible trip, scenery and diversity 😃👌🏼 Must be a real experience traveling like that

I must say, so far it is encouraging when I look at the number of years/mileage most had done, compared to serious injuries. Unfortunately a fair share seem to be caused by another party, which can not be prevented to a large degree I will keep riding, but possibly even more carefully...

Yeah, a peaked adventure helmet all the way - for the sun mainly But I hate the buffeting and wind noise, not helped by my height on the bike, so have touring screens on the 950 and XChallenge -> then wind is zero issue

Here's mine, as far as I remember 1. Total number of years riding - 6 2. No. of falls or accidents that lead to injuries that kept you of a bike for a while, required proper recovery/operations/etc - 2 3. Nature of injuries - broken foot when I fell in our driveway with my MTX50; buggered...

We all know, as per the current "nasty accident" thread that our sport/hobby/passion is not exactly the safest out there - accidents/falls and injuries are common. If there is an existing older thread like this, pls point me to it? Otherwise it would be interesting to see the following: 1...

I must say it does make me think seriously about the much increased risk of serious consequences that high speed and being lax wrt rules of the road brings. I am a relatively safe, relaxed/slow rider most of the time, but it is easy to get carried away, be over confident and feel untouchable on...

The way I read it is he saw the previous car overtake and saw the wide yellow barrier lines as a "reasonable" space to overtake - and pinned it to get past quickly. Then he sees the truck in front start moving over into the barrier lines, and drifts further inward himself to avoid that truck...

Interessante ene nogal, vir iemand wat net so af en toe n grondpad ook wil ry https://www.facebook.com/share/aSCihAx1Pcq7vcpp/?mibextid=kL3p88

Ek het ook jare net n gewone fietspomp saam gery, en meestal net die druk effens verander en 3 keer n band van pap af gepomp. Maar flip, ek is bly ek het n kompressor gehad toe ek in Januarie 6 keer my agterband moes probeer regmaak pomp 😬😳🥵

From the 3 pics it actually looks to be in pretty good condition, and well taken care of 🤔 And if it is in fair condition it would be a good buy I reckon I bought a BMW XChallenge from that same branch end of last year, and Ive been super happy with it - great bike at a good price. Andre...

Aah, dit maak sin Baie hartseer vir sy familie😏

I drove north on Carl Cronje around 19:40 last night, and before and under the the N1 bridge crossing Carl Cronje there were about 50+ bikers parked at the side of the road and under the bridge, with traffic police all over and cars backed up. Any idea what that was about?

When my dad did his 1st ever learners license at 71 he was also the oldest there by far - got the highest mark in the group and the instructor said to everyone " Now tháts how you do it!". 😄 He is due to go and get his proper license soon, and contemplating doing a solo ride from CT to Empangeni...

Im also on my 2nd learners, but need to do my lisence asap to carry a pillion legally and just remove the schlepp of writing a learners again And I see the waiting time at Brackenfell is just 3 days - but i need a bit more time to get my ducks in a row 😄

Fuzzy, where around CT do you go for more technical DS riding?

PM'd you, thanks Paddy

Ok ok, I've been eyeing this all day Paddy, I'm 1.89 and 84kg, so it should work, right? If you reckon so I'll take it, and just check what courier will work best Will chat to you in the morning 😃

Aah, and therein lies the dilemma - a) I've got slightly old school taste, a value for money mindset, I do not fancy all these super modern adjustable-everything, ridiculously over priced and over specced things b) I can not afford something that I would like as much as the 950 anyway, and c)...

I love it 😍 That sound is why I have thought for so long that I should do the financially sensible thing and sell my 950, but find myself unable to 😈 And I find it incredible how they manage to ride like that without the high fender mod - got the idea that the std low fender hampered the bike...
