Spokey Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 The little KLR enjoyed a wet and muddy jaunt over Montagu Pass yesterday. Lotus, Hairy, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and 7 others 10
Spokey Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 A bit of a peeve of mine..... Trundling along at a rather staid 80 kmph on a short tar stretch of the N9 on the little KLR (conserving my knobblies on the tar) so many motorists pass me as close as they F..ing can and cut in as soon as they can.....knob heads!I think I will ride in the dirt and stones along the side of the road. That will be fun when the **** spins up...........(even the KLR can do it if anyone is wondering ha ha!) Saving for the CRF1000.........or S10.........or Katoom 990! mazambaan, BenReaper, Grebel and 1 other 4
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 SO we flew down to PE on Thursday and then spent the long weekend on my dad's V-strom riding down the Garden Route.What a weekend, and what a bike. It really is a practical and versatile little machine. Just chugs away, km after km.I also got to go and visit The Motorcycle Room in Knysna which everyone should do if you get the chance. sawystertrance, Spokey, DirtyFrank and 4 others 7

sawystertrance Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I've never ridden one and believe they are great but I am just so put off by that front exhaust header sticking down all on its own down there. It just looks like it's asking to be bumped.

Spokey Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 WheelieHa ha, yeah......the only time I ever did a wheelie was when I turned into Witkoppen in Josie with the Missus and I on the old FZR. Accelerating hard to stay ahead of the traffic and hooking second the front came up. Buggar it felt like miles.......in reality it was probably just a few inches, still felt lekker! Ever since then I have fancied to ride a bike like an R1 or anything that can wheelie off the power! I do enjoy watching those who can wheelie, I wont get into arguments over safety and responsibility ha ha! Hairy, sawystertrance, BSG and 2 others 5

He remains unrepentant, however! the nerd, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Spokey 3
sawystertrance Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 .. "putting the expedition at risk". How so? Surely he's saving on tyre wear? dirtypot, Lotus and BSG 3
