Looked again, the one thing that does put me off is all the HD branding .... nice jacket though. I am the kind of guy that would not buy or generally wear any logo / branded clothing .... so that jacket is becoming a bit to Harley for me every time I go back to the pic .......... BUT it is still a nice jacket WaynejG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 10, 2021 Share A quick ride out to Melkbos to get some pastries for breakfast, sure there is a shop around the corner from me .......... but to get to Melkbos I get to do a nice slow ride along the coast and can then pin it down the R27 on the way back What an amazing morning to be on a motorbike, or even a bicycle. I set the bike up to catch the sun rays coming through the clouds, but as I got off and took my phone out to take the pics a bloody car came and parked right next to me, with a basically empty otherwise parking lot!

Spokey Posted September 16, 2021 Share The Little Orange and I recently completed a 3551 km trim from Hoekwil and back via Barkly East, Scottburgh, Josie and Middleburg. These pics are in the Karoo. I turned toward Beaufort West from Aberdeen and around midway I turned toward Rietbron and eventually to Klaarstoom and home. I punctured badly with my Pirelli Rally STR on Naudes Neck, taking 4,5 hours for the 105 kms from Barkly East to Maclear……bit of an endurance day that turned out to be to get to Scottburgh………over 11 hours in the hot seat! In Josie I fitted a Motoz Tractionator GPS on the rear. It is a very tough tyre and Is apparently good for over 20 000 kms……..well, will see. I did fit a Mushroom plug in my Rally STR in Amanzimtoti but felt to replace it all the same when in Josie. I welcome coments on the use of tyres with internal mushroom plugs. This is the second time I have changed a tyre early with a puncture although fitted with said plugs. Previously was Pirelli Angel ST with just 800 kms on. I am not the most trusting of these repairs when barrelling along at speeds that may be exceeding the recommended! The Motoz is great, even in the dirt, especially when aired down to 2 bar. Anyways……rambling over! RoddieJ, Duane_Bosch, Andrew_Smith and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawystertrance Posted September 17, 2021 Share Lovely photos which to me represent a lifestyle into which I want to submege myself.With regrd to plugs: I have Nakaee 3s on my bike and had a mushroom plug put into my rear tyre well over a year ago. No problems. I think they are fine under all conditions. It's the gluey worm plugs you use on the road which give me a bit of concern althugh may people vouch for them having put them in and never had any problems with them. Even Ryan fortnine did a video on them. I am about to replace my Anakee 3s and think I am about to go with Anakee adventures. I don't ride gravel as much as you do so at 80/20 they seem to be the best fit and come highly recommended. Those Motoz Tractionators are very highly regarded but seem a bit over the top for your use or do you do more gnarly stuff? One of my mates swears by Mitas E07s and, if you can get them, Shinkos also get good ratings. Whatever the tyres, it seems like you're doing just fine and are ejoying life - just as it should be.

Andymann Posted September 17, 2021 Share A little project within a bigger one - the lovely cast finned exhaust nuts on the Velo have seen a few ham-fisted owners with hammers over the last 90years. They are obviously not available anymore and putting on the later model type would just have bugged me. So it was off to the 3d Printer we went, to make a duplicate. Then off to our Foundry on the other end of Jhb to cast an Aluminium blank which will be used at a pattern to cast me 4 new ones, which I will machine. Probably a bit of overkill seeing as everyone who owns one of these bikes has the later type on, but if not, why not!

sawystertrance Posted September 17, 2021 Share Can't you 3D print straight to Aluminium? Or does it have to be titanium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymann Posted September 17, 2021 Share The Aluminium is just so that I can have a proper blank. We're going to cast the new ones in SG Cast Iron - just like the originals. Hairy, Wannabe and sawystertrance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
