Cool ‘A.F’ genuine leather masks
We bumped into Deon Veldsman on our rounds to the dealers
where he was showing off his really cool as f… genuine leather
masks which can be worn to keep the virus at bay or with your
open face helmet to keep the bugs out of your teeth. Deon lost
his job due to the pandemic and is keeping food on the table with
his hand made and very unique leather masks.
He is marketing them under the brand name ‘ROF’ and each one
is a unique, custom made, high quality item that can be made to
size for the smaller ladies or the bigger “boer seuns” out there.
Dealer enquiries are welcome and you can contact him on
071 334 2233. Go on support him and help keep a roof over his
families head. They really are as cool as f…
Givi GRT721 CANYON BASE
UNIVERSAL SADDLE BASE, FOR MODULAR
ATTACHMENT OF VARIOUS BAGS
So! Not everybody wants or enjoys big hard boxes bolted onto
their bikes and a lot of motorcycles do not actually have place to
fit these types of luggage. A lot of the smaller, more enduro styled
bikes can only take soft luggage, so instead of trying to strap
down your ruck sack or tag bag to the rear of the seat or heaven
forbid, using a set of leather cruiser styled saddle bags what are
your options. Well the guys at DMD are currently importing a
very nice soft luggage system from GIVI. It is a universal saddle
base, for modular fixing of different bags, particularly suitable
for use on enduro and adventure motorcycles. It allows the rider
to fix different lateral and upper loads. It is a modular system
compatible with the following GIVI products:
• Roller bag GRT714B
• Cargo bag GRT722
• Dry bag T520.
The Canyon-Base allows you to modulate the configuration of
the motorcycle luggage to adapt it to your load needs, from short
day trips to longer and more demanding trips. The Canyon-Base
with a fully loaded GIVI configuration allows a maximum capacity
of 60 litres and is made of 1680D / PU coating with high tenacity,
side flaps in Hypalon and inserts in TPU, PVC non slip, external
materials with high resistance to UV rays. And comes with an
array of cool features such as side flaps lined in Hypalon, with
straps for securing bags and also hold the load and protect the
bags in the event of a fall, central straps for securing an additional
upper load, with cam buckle to ensure tension retention, a
reflective motif prints for greater visibility, non-slip material on
the base, fixing to different motorcycle models, by means of
adjustable straps with clamp closure to ensure tightness of
tension. We like this idea a lot. For more info or to view more great

Trax Moto Silverlakes news:
This is one dealership that has quietly expanded over the years
and it is now the first KTM multifranchise group store in South
Africa. And it all started way back, when Riaan Koen was one of
the very few Husaberg dealers in SA. When KTM took over that
brand and discontinued it, he was offered the KTM brand and
TRAX KTM was born. They quietly got along with business selling
the orange brand, accessories and parts when GasGas needed
a home in Pretoria. “It made sense”, says Riaan. “We are able to
service and supply parts and backup, so the Gas Gas brand was
a natural fit.” Soon afterwards, Husqvarna saw a few changes in
the far north, and once again Trax stepped up. “We have always
had a soft spot for the Blue and white brand, so eight years
along, when the opportunity finally arose, we took it and we now
stock the Husqvarna brand, gear and parts. We are very fortunate
to have all three brands under one roof. Kom drink n Koffie and
see for yourself.”
