Hi, I'm the webmaster of this site, and the lucky owner of 'Mr. Badger'.
I started with Brenda Buttercup when I got her for a song when I mentioned to a friend that I was in the market for a bigger scooter to replace my 150cc Vespa. At first I didn't want her, thinking that BMW bikes must be just like their cars - common. How wrong was I...
Brenda and I did the Anysberg trip in 2005, and we did the introduction to off-road rider training at Zevenwacht, and Julie and I and Brenda had a threesome at the ''Intro to offroad rider with pillion training''.
Brenda Buttercup: In the Tankwa Karoo reserve
I have been married 20 years, and have two sons - one doing 3rd year Property Studies at UCT, and the other Sound Engineering. I sold Brenda to my eldest when I got Mr.Badger - a beautiful blue and white 2003 R1150GS - in 2007/8. Now my wife Julie owns Brenda and we do trips together.
Mr.Badger at Klipbokkop: This is the jumping on the advanced course
Mr.Badger is a bike among men. I have done the intermediate and advanced offroad courses with him, and practise skills challenges and allsorts. If I drop him, he just lands on his tappet-cover protectors, waits for me to pick him up, then shakes the sand out of his pelt. He has over 140 000km on the clock and is still going strongly.

Training
I am the first person to have completed every one of the courses provided by Country Trax and I was awarded a certificate for this honour, as well as a complimentary training course. I believe that regular training and courses are essential to maintaining your riding skills and improving your safety on a bike.

Upper Piketberg resident, though I know quite some of the club members and many will know me and the prettier on with her pink GS. A lifestyle change makes that we'll be able to rejoin the bike'riding' community again, rather than just being bike 'owners' . Will see ya on da road!!
Mike Gregory - Single 49 - Back on a bike after too many years of being a responsible cager - an accountant and project manager for an oil company. Live in Durbanville - have yellow F650GS and ride in the countryside mainly as I relearn my skills - but what a pleasure. Have a BMW as its "ALL I could Afford" and love my Mistress.
Hi, my name is Ian Steyn. I stay in Durbanville and commute on the bike to work (city) almost every day. Weekends the Adventure does what it does best - going off-road! I love getting off the tar and is always keen on exploring new gravel roads.

Woon in SomersetWes, werk in Stellenbosch. Ingenieur van beroep.
Ek het op 'n plaas grootgeword en geniet enigiets wat my bietjie plaas-gevoel gee, bv grondpaaie, vars oggendlug, natuur, masjienerie, reen, ongekunstelde mense & dinge.
Ook om nuwe plekke te ervaar, interessante mense te ontmoet, wegkom van die elkedag-gejaag.
Die GS bied my dit alles....wens net ek kan baie meer daarvan gebruik maak. Tyd en fondse is die beperking.
My name is Gerald Stark. I haven ridden bikes for 25 years. Bought R1200GS in Nov 08 and loving every minute.
My name is Leon and I have a GS650F with ABS and heated grips. I work in the communication sector - mainly in the data side. I went over seas a few years ago and realized that we have the best country in the world. We just do not appreciate it enough. Now I try my best to see it by making a dot on the map and going for it.

51 years old - ride to work every day on bike. Married to Ruida scientist at capenature and with three daughters Mika Emma and Jana ages 20 18 and 16. Mika studying Psycology at Rhodes university , Emma enginering at Stellenbosch university and Jana in Rhenish girl high school. Two weeks ago I did a trip to Porteville hang gliders ramp - backroads with nice breakfast next to M7, HOT but most enjoyable - I did the trip with Jan Cloete also on Beemer.
Finally got round to biking again 3yrs ago, had a Dl650, wrote it off in accident a few months ago. Went on 1st buff with my boet who just got him a R1200GS, and that was to be my next bike.
Hi my name is Theo and I started riding again after a very long break. Bought a Z13 Kawasaki in 2004 and really enjoyed being back on a bike. In 2009 I bought a K1200GT (flying brick) and in 2010 I finally decided that gravel roads were the better option and I got that F800GS that I've been drooling over. My wife Emmie then wanted her own bike so she has the 650 Xcountry and enjoys it.
My first offroad bike was a Honda MTX 200R. I went to Potch Univ and after finishing pharmacy I bought a Yamaha XT600 in my comm.service year to enjoy the trekoskraal and the the rest of the west coast. after having to do long onroad k's i sold it until i now have my GS for 1 month. Still new a novice with long offroad trips but very excited. my wife talked me into all of this and can't wait herself to get on the road with me for a nice camping weekend away. Regards, Raymond
The Name is Mike AdendorffI am 23 years of age. I bought my first adventure bike at the age of 22 and within a year put 25000km on it. The ever trusty dakar will keep going forever. I enjoy challenges and can't wait for the future to see what the road holds for me and the dakkie.
