Dear All,
I notice that there's not an awful lot of threads concerning riding in the south of Africa?
I am a Pom who has been living in Johannesburg for the past three years. I work at Auto Alpina Motorrad in Boksburg, Johannesburg after having worked for five years at North Oxford BMW Motorrad in England.
I have never had such freedom of riding in my whole riding career in England, it's simply stunning. Ive covered over 75000kms in southern Africa so far. The roads outside of town are clear of traffic, there's hardly any speed limits and the off-road opportunities for adventure are everywhere. Plus the beer's super-cheap and the sun is always shining.
If any of you GSer's are down this side of the world in the future, please feel free to pop in for a coffee and I will happily let you know the lowdown this side in terms of bike hire, trips an routes to go. I sincerely recommend it, you will not be disappointed.
Ciao for now,
Alex
