RIDING IN SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa has some of the most incredible motorcycle riding available on
the planet today. A network of high quality tarmac road stretches far and
wide across the country.
Road Quality : The road surfaces are by and large maintained very well. The
network of roads links the beautiful countryside to many cities, villages and
hamlets along the way. We will be riding exclusively on these tarmac roads.
Riding in South Africa : In South Africa we travel on the left side of the
road and road signage follows international standards. Roads in South Africa
are very lightly policed, especially in the countryside, as we tend to ride on
good quality roads as opposed to highways we ride at our own pace with a
certain amount of freedom... In addition the roads in South Africa are not
highly congested resulting in a quality riding experience for both rider
and pillion alike.
Mick Grant (ex UK Motorcycle racing star and legend) refers to South
Africa as the best kept secret in motorcycling...that actually sums up
the road riding experience in South Africa.
