BMW R1200 GS

Name's John, just started riding, and really loving it. Originally wanted to start with something small like a Dakar, but things turned out differently and went straight for a GS. Using it as a sunny weather commute bike, but once I more sure footed, looking to explore some gravel and possible neighboring countries, however, I'd like to explore SA more first! As for the rest, keen photographer and outdoor enthusiast, camping, hiking, MTBing. Would rather rough it, than stay in luxury accommodation.

R1200 GS Adventure

My name is Cecil Hill, married to Celesta, resident in the Helderberg (Strand) with two young adult daughters. I owned a road bike in a former life, but have just recently acquired the Adventure, as the second step towards fulfilling a lifelong dream of both Celesta and myself, to experience the sights, sounds, touch and tastes of Africa in the best way possible - on motorcycles. Our immediate goal is to learn and develop the skills necessary to undertake such a journey starting, roughly, around 2015. Mwendo - the name of my bike - is a kiSwahili word with several English translations, including: voyage, journey (safari), travel, movement, speed, course and my personal favourite, "means of getting there"!

Hi, I haven't ridden regularly in years and it's time I started again. I've fallen totally in love with the older BMWs and am looking for a bike at the moment. I look forward to hanging out on the forum and meeting riders. Evan

I am the sales executive for Hamman Motorrad and have grown very fond off the brand over the last 9 months of my employment. As with many guys my age I perceived BMW as an "Old Toppies" bike, but after experiencing the brand and its followers i soon came to relies that I am involved with an adventuress, exciting and Youthful product. BMW for life.

Harley Davidson Sportster Custom 1200

I have only ridden cruisers since starting to ride motorbikes in my mid 40"s two years ago. I have done many tours and tousands of kilometres and thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband has a cruiser as well as BMW GS1200. we would like to do some off road touring but I need to get confidence in riding a GS as well as off-road conditions. We have bought a lower seat for the GS so that my short legs can reach the ground. I would like to attend one of the training sessions as an observer if possible before venturing the course myself.
