Riders years of experience
I'm an IT Architect. Married to Adrienne - "retired" teacher, now home exec. Hoping to spend many enjoyable hours on the road. Starting to enjoy riding some of the easier gravel roads after a year on tar.
I was one of those lucky enough to be have motorcycles when I was young, eventually taking part in moto X, enduro's and even a few months on a RD350 trying my hand at road racing. When I went to the army in 87, that was it, no more bikes until 2006 when I decided to buy 2 x TW200's to get back into biking.
These soon turned into BMW650's and since then, mine has turned into a 800GS.
Nowdays my wife Natalie and I are having loads of fun serving the BMW Motorcycle Club and it's members. We have had so much fun over the years that it seemed only right to give back.
Recently moved to a 1200GS after a few years learning on a Dakar. Never thought I'd be able to handle the extra weight, but so far so good! My favourite riding is on a good dirt road far away from anywhere.
A Yammie DT250 and Honda's CB550F & CB750K2 in the 70’s gave way to my family, son’s Robin ('79) & Nicky ('81) and daughter Kate ('84). No longer married to their special mum, Debbie, and now partner to the ingenious Wendy. Fast forward to 2008, when Robin arrived in Cape Town on a Ducati Multistrada after a 32000km trek from Italy through Africa (http://mutitrek.blogspot.com) and left two weary Italian girls in my garage for 6 months. Well, they had to be ridden, didn’t they? And my dormant love of all things motorcycling was re-awakened. Fortunate to become the new owner of a good friend’s 1200GS in July 2010, I’m now set to explore our country and continent on my lady, Esmeralda.
I bought my Dakar in Nov 2007. It's my first real motorbike. I joined the club shortly after.
I like to have fun, and am a perennial joker. I'm the first person to make inappropriate comments.
Chris, 47 years old, last rode a Honda CG125 in High School - the same model that that delivery drivers could not break, Thankfully, mine had no 'chemist' box on the back!
Just bought an 800GS; 800km, 2008 model, crashbars and wide footpegs, BarkBusters, etc.
Very well looked after, mint condition! I'm a happy camper...!
