Members who ride a BMW 1150 GS
2 years back into riding after 15 year layoff. Fairly intensive touring since back incl Sutherland, Baviaans, Gamkaskloof, Cederberg, Pofadder- loving it!
I have been riding bike for more than 20 years. I bought my BMW 1150GS 8 years ago and will never go back. I use my motorcycle every day as I prefer to ride my motorcycle above my car.
Love riding and camping. Take long roads solo and feel the wind in the face. See you all on the road
Like to ride like an old man....very, very carefully.
First bike (1981) was a Blue Yamaha, delivery-bike (yes, the one with a HUGE perspex screen). Often landed on the back wheel by accident, it was a 2-stroke.
Second bike was a 175cc, 2-stroke....can't remember the make (probably a Suzuki)...no muffler. Got some touble with the campus police of he University of Pretoria riding on the Proefplaas terrain.
Third bike (1983) was aHonda XL 500 thumper, then sold it in 1986 due to student financial needs in Stellenbosch....eish...went for R500.
Fourth bike (2007) was a revisit of the Honda...this time a XR500R...spent more money on it to get it going for say 100km than I paid for it....threw it into the sea after that !
Then in 2012.... BMW1150GS... a heavy lady, but smooth....you press the button, she starts, she goes....no complaints.
My family...3 daughters and a cat....aah, yes...and 2 grandsons.
Been riding bikes since I was 16 years old. First bike was a Vespa 125 scooter. I am married to Martie and have two daughters. I retired last year March. I was a bank manager at Nedbank and worked for them for 29 years. I ride with a group of guys from Betty's Bay and have done all gravel roads in the Overberg area and various long trips to Verneukpan, Uppington, Seweweekspoort; Hell; et.
Hi I'm Shaun. Just got myself a GS. My other bike is a Kawasaki KZ 1300 Touring. Love being on a motorcycle and now have the chance to do a bit of off roading. I'm in Hermanus.
Gert Munnik from Brackenfell, Cape Town, 4 Motorbikes in the famaly, BMW 1150 GS (mine), 2 Kawasaki KLE 400's(Wife and son)and Honda 125(other son). Love the oudoors!! Usually looking for remote places to camp.
Have ridden bikes since a young age. Before my GS, I was a speed-bike rider, but needed a bije that could do 2up, with some gear. And a very nice GS came on the market.
Still "new" to off-roading (but have loved every moment of it), and planning to do one of the courses.
Hi, I'm Buddy Ekron, I ride a 1150GS on and off-road, I race a classic Kawasaki at Killarney, and also do scuba diving. I love being outdoors when not at work. I'm an airfreight manager for an international logistics company.
My name is Nic Lothering and my wife Claudia. We have 2 sons which are both out of home (they may be out of home but NEVER out of pocket!! :-) ) and working in JHB. We moved down from PTA in April 08 and currently living in Bloubergstrand/Table View/Flamingo Vlei - will let you know when they have decided exactly where we fit in.
We enjoy biking tremendeously and prefer sharing this activity for a number of reasons - it is quality time we spent together, its a great time to get close to nature and the things that really matter in life, it provides the opportunity to ride, see, enjoy places you never have the opportunity when going by car, etc etc etc.
We have never belonged to a club and have done most of our riding solo. Looking forward to share these experiences with similar people!!
Cheers - Nic and Claudia
