I work to live not live to work. I am married to a wonderful woman, Alison, and have 2 beautiful boys, Dominic 6 and Nicolas 2. I have had an 18 year gap of no bike and no riding and now at 40 find myself reunited with that fantastic free spirit feeling you get when riding your bike. The best part is my wife enjoys the riding with me. That's it in a nut shell. Safe riding always.

Hi, my name is Frans Coetsee, I'm 51 years young, happily married to a wife who lets me ride, three sons, ages 16, 19 and 28; the two older ones also bike-mad, at least one of them rides a GS1200... Live in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, at the foot of Ou Kaapse Weg and commute to work (Century City) on the GS Adventure every day, rain or shine, as it was meant to be! Other interests include golf, motorsport and flying. Once a year I organise a long distance bike tour with my friends (most of them on BM's) and the long term goal is for my sons and I to ride across the whole of Europe on GS Adventure bikes....(yes, Mom knows about this plan!)

Started out on MX bikes in the bush with friends, 1st bike was a VFR 400 RR (honda), then a ZZR 400 R. For the last 5 years I have been riding an original '96 CBR 900 RR Urban Tiger Fireblade. Just upgraded to the Adventure. Very impressive bike, but I have to keep reminding myself that it is not a superbike, but a SUPER bike. Andrew Storie
