Durban biking must be very safe
Annie n I went up to Durbs on the last weekend of Feb 2011.
The rugby, the girls, the beaches...oh ya and to a ship christening.
On Sunday while navigating the M4 in the early morning and later we twice came across a group of BMW bikes out and then back from a breakfast run.
ATTGAT? whats that?
Of say 13 bikes, 2 had full ATTGAT, the rest, T-shirts, takkies, even shorts.
And fast?
Well they were threading through the traffic so.... go figure.
I was willing to believe I'd being tricked by my eyes first time, But later saw what seems the same group returning and yes, it was hot, but no ATTGAT worth mentioning.
So Hats off to the BMW community in the Western Cape for the CULTURE of ATTGAT you set!
I asked a BMW biker at one of the shipping companies and he was more puzzled by my surprise at no ATTGAT and my disbelief than anything else.
"ATTGAT, why ATTGAT, a bike is for freedom"....."You overheat in safety gear, don't you know?"
Shows you what a culture can do for peoples behavior pattern.
