Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Thought I would shoot from the hip and ask Honda SA if they could by any chance support madam Itchy Boots on her travels through SA Latest vid is out again BTW So many people were commenting on the bike bought at the time. At least on some of the WA groups I am on.I think it is great, would have bought the Rally version personally but it is a solid bike. Easy to maintain, etc. Brilliant. Am following the series as of today..... Hairy and mazambaan 2

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 She seems very happy with the bike and that's what matter. Never doubted that at all.I just look at these people doing vlogs and writing books about how they are crossing continents on big GS1200's and I do not find that daunting at all. Sticking to main roads, staying in hotels, etc.....Adding the simplicity of a basic bike, bit of camping, etc. That I will follow. Hairy and TheoG 2
Hairy Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Do you know her?only through following her on her various travels
Hairy Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 So many people were commenting on the bike bought at the time. At least on some of the WA groups I am on.I think it is great, would have bought the Rally version personally but it is a solid bike. Easy to maintain, etc. Brilliant. Am following the series as of today.....Seeing as she is doing her best to avoid fast main/national roads the 250 is working well for her on the gravel and trails she finds. Based on many of the comments of viewers outside of South Africa, they are amazed at the beauty of the country ... so she is doing us a good service and I hope many of those people end up travelling here. Personally I have unfortunately not seem much of our Country, and this journey has me very excited to see more! TheoG and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
Hairy Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Side note on my very long journey to getting on a bike. My learners forms are filled in and when I next have a meeting in town I will drop them off and book a test date. 1 step closer. Our office took a knock over Covid, so we had massive salary cuts and what I was saving up for a bike had to go to life. Clawing back now doing private work to catch up and relative to how long I have been on this thread looking and talking about getting a bike again since the flipping awesome, yet highly unreliable 125cc I had at school, I am getting closer now. patches and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
TheoG Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 I only recently started watching her videos, must say I became a fan in a very short time. Utmost respect for how she is going about it. Hairy and mazambaan 2

Utmost respect for how she is going about it.What got me hooked was her down to earth nature and how she just rolls with the punches on your travels mazambaan and TheoG 2
Andymann Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Unfortunately, I'm now waiting for Yamaha to deliver the last of the parts - not even I, who has "people on the Inside" can speed things up. So this is what we do now.... smell the smoke, and upset the neighbours! I must be honest with the delay in parts arriving I moved the 175 to the back of the garage and covered it up - there was not much more I could do and the excitement was waning a bit. Just got this pic though from the Paint shop - and suddenly, I'm all amped about this bike again - I reckon it's going to be damn nice.... WrightJnr, IceCreamMan, BigToe and 5 others 8

Ed-Zulu Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Question on the New KLR650... Will South Africa be getting them and when? I can't find anything about it locally
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Question on the New KLR650... Will South Africa be getting them and when? I can't find anything about it locally I would think SA would be a key market given how many you see here.
IceCreamMan Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Question on the New KLR650... Will South Africa be getting them and when? I can't find anything about it locally I am going to say no, reason being emissions related. Ed-Zulu 1
WaynejG Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Question on the New KLR650... Will South Africa be getting them and when? I can't find anything about it locallyGeneral consensus is no. Ed-Zulu 1
