I moved back to SA 3 years ago and have decided to do adventure rides on my GS (800). As a trail runner it would be nice to meet other adventurers that appreciate running in the wild, while out on an riding adventure.

I’ve recently acquired an F800 to start dual sport / adventure riding.  For safety reasons I would like to join the club and book an introductory riding course. I would also like to meet like-minded individuals.

My name is Riaan, I am divorced, have a 21 year old son living in Durban. I work overseas, managing the clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance in post war countries (in short, I blow shit up :-) ) - I have been riding a lot of off road before, but only started riding on the road about 6 months ago when I bought a Honda NC700X. I traded it in recently for a BMW F800GS because I want to be able to go off road as well.

James de Wet. Have been riding with a great bunch of mates on my Tenere but since I've recently changed to BMW, thought it appropriate to join the club.

Adventure riding newbie

Hi 

I started biking at the age of 12 on a AJS 500 that my Dad bought to run around on the farm (1970). At Varsity I bought a XT500 and used that for a number of years, as well as a clapped out Suzuki RM250 with which I fooled around in the dirt and mud. Then I married my better half and sold the bikes. About 5 years ago I got totally fed up with Cape Town traffic and I bought a 1998 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 - a 95th Anniversary Edition. I then bought a 1941 Harley Davidson WL and restored the bike to its original WW2 condition (as used by the SAUDF in East Africa, Madagascar and North Africa). And when the Sportster's clutch packed up,  I splurged and bought a new F800GS. What a magnificent bike!
