Hi all

Got my new machine beginning of December, had 3 rides and went on a month long bløødy military deployment! Can't wait to get back!

Any other riders here from Cape Town?

Last bike was a K1300S-written off on the track

Welcome. How is the riding in South Africa? My friends wife is from there and I'd always saying how crazy it is there. Are there people w guns always trying to steal your bike? Do you live by the BST factory?

Thanks MMM. I think in Cape Town (about 1300km from the factory in Johannesburg) we've got some of the most beautiful riding in the country! Have a track just 5 minutes away too! Honestly, I'd bet our bike theft stats are lower than in the UK or US! The main thing to survive is the minibus taxis (who are a law unto themselves) during commute!

Where in SA is your friend's wife from? Where are you?

From one vet to another: Thanks for serving. Kick ass and take names but get back safely!

Post some pics of those scenic rides in S. Africa. I think we'd all like to see that!
