Hi All, Sharing my latest video with content captured during a recent recce and route scouting mission for the annual NDBA event next month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlUX3Af692I&t=280s

Hi, I can't speak for the guys on 990's, 1190's and 1290 because I was one of three on a 690 but rode alongside them and I have come from riding bigger bikes myself. The average riding skill or competence level of this particular group was quite high. Almost everyone in the group is and...

More than most know. Thanks for the kind words. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Appreciate the comments J, in particular that they come from someone in the industry with similar working experience in it. There have been a lot of armchair experts hypothesizing how a bike hire and touring company should be operated. Up till now I have only noted two members commenting who I...

Do you run an adventure touring or bike rental company? If you did you would have an understanding of just how horifically expensive the insurance is, not just insurance for damage, theft etc. but also the professional liability and 3rd party cover required (provided that you are a bona fide...

You should be applauded for having gone as far as you have in taking steps towards meeting certain requirements of the department. You run a great outfit and have extensive experience in true adventure biking guiding and I believe that it would a fairly quick and seamless transition from...

I was very surprised to find that the Registrars I dealt with were indeed qualified guides and had experience in guiding. Did they have motorcycle licenses and experience in adventure biking? No, however, the subject and matter is not about really about whether you would give Alfie Cox a run for...

King Louis, you know your facts well. I have it on good authority that the Director has tabled this sector of the local tourism industry for  investigation (imminently).  As I understand it the more prominent operators will be tackled first as they are most easily identified and proven to be...

Hi All, This post is for sake of general interest and edification. Have you ever thought about starting an adventure bike touring company or wondered what it takes to become a legal adventure biking or adventure guide as well as registered with the South African Department of Tourism which is...

Thanks bud. Appreciate it.

Thanks bud. Appreciate it.

Can't say I'm feeling very enthusiastic about entertaining the popcorn and peanut gallery further but once they're back from the signage guy with their new decals fitted I'll post a pic or two. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

This final account has to be read in conjunction with quotes received and then cross referenced to invoice line item values. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I believe the ex-client posted the final account in the very beginning, nevertheless, see below which was issued to them once all costs had been determined by means of quotes. There are no service items included. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
