During the beginning of March 2013 I decided to enter the annual Western Cape Motorcycle Endurance Rally. The organizers send you a list of checkpoints (18 printed pages). You then choose which checkpoints to visit. Each checkpoint gives you a certain amount of points. A photo has to be taken at each checkpoint to prove you were there. Esse...

I decided to install a power supply on my VFR due to the fact that I already fitted a bracket for my GPS but had no way of charging it. I bought a cheap fitting meant for a car with a waterproof cap. Fitted on the right side of the "dash" it works 100%. The whole job cost...
I went for a very pleasant ride out towards Stellenbosch from Cape Town. In stellenbosch we went onto the Hellshoogte Pass. Very popular with bikers with long wide sweeping curves! Thereafter we went through Pniel, Paarl and home via Durbanville. Total distance about...
I didn't get much time off during the festive season this year (non at all actually) so I had to wait for a public holiday to take my VFR out for a nice ride! December 27 I took my baby out from Cape Town, through Gordon's Bay and Rooi Els to the beautiful town of Hermanus to see some family. My wife followed in the car and failed miserably...
Although not a Honda or VFR event, the 2010 Ink and Iron custom bike show held in Cape Town, South Africa was a blast! There were all sorts of American choppers, Harley Davidsons and custom bikes to be seen. All in all an awesome event and a pleasure to attend. Check out some pics in my albums under "Ink and Iron 2010".

African seaside Typical African seaside traders for the tourists to Cape Town. In the surf you can see the stricken Seli 1 rusting away with Cape Town City across the bay.
Beautiful sunshine. No wind. Perfect day for the beach. I went on a short drive to...
Couldn't let a beautiful sunshine day go by without a ride out in the countryside. This photo was taken less than 5 minutes from my home. You can see Table Mountain in the background. I live in the northern suburbs of Cape Town on the edge of the Durbanville Wine Route and further north is virtually only farming area. Lots of nice scenery and twisty...
When i bought my bike it had an aftermarket Scorpion exhaust fitted. There was no heat shield for the rider's right foot. I was unable to find one on the internet. Unfortunately Scorpion is no longer imported into South Africa. I then asked my son-in-law who is an engineer to make me one on a CNC machine. He did and it turned out very smart. See the...
My friend who lives in the Bahamas came for a visit in mid July and we went for a ride out to Wellington, Malmesbury and Darling around the beautiful Western Cape farmland area. Truly the most amazing scenery! Cape Town South Africa has some of the most beautiful roads in the country.
