New member introduction

Hi all! My name is Ettiene van Zyl and I live in Pretoria. I ride a R1200GS that I bought around May 2006. I rode a superbike before that and after getting the knees down, wheelying etc. I decided to slow down before I kill someone and get something a bit more grown up. My wife also got tired of sitting on a roof tile, and now I can't pry her off the back seat with a crowbar. We did the Country trax course together and that inspired her to ride as well. She did the novice course at BMW (Zwartkops) and now has her learner's as well. A life changing experience, for both of us, indeed!
