Members who ride a BMW R 1200 GS
Hi, I'm Garth (32) and stay in Brackenfell. I work as the Manager of TygerBurger community newspaper in Tygervalley and we serve the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town with 285 000 newspapers per week, delivered free of charge to the households in 12 different areas where each area has its own unique newspaper.
I'm fairly new to biking and decided on a BMW 1200GS in 2010. This was my 1st ever experience with a bike. I have approx 2 years experience on the GS now and have done about 20 000km since I bought the bike. I have also done an intro to off-raod course at Country Trax where
Johan Olivier from Wild@Heart was our instructor.
Have done a few interesting trips through the Cederberge (it stays my favourite), Wupperthal/Eselsbank/Clanwilliam, Tankwa Karoo to Sutherland, Merweville, Stanford/Tesselaarsdal, Van Wyksdorp/Ladismith/Herbertsdale and the gravel roads in the Stillbay/Riversdale area to name a few.
My wife, Carien (28) is on a 2008 F650GS twin (blue in colour: called Mamma Smurf...)
I stay in Betty's Bay and is married to Yvonne.
I work for consulting engineers in Somerset West and after many years decided to get on a bike again.I am joining the club to be able to meet other bikers and to be able to join in on rides.
