How to motorcycling site: 

Sources of first-time information on motorbikes are strangely rare. This one-stop motorcycle web site covers sportbikes, touring, cruiser, trail, enduro and off road bikes. Motorbike protective clothing like helmets, leather and Cordura jackets  are covered. Tips for safe and accident free riding with special attention to the Hurt Study. Safe motorcycle touring in Africa and touring accessories like panniers, topboxes and bags are explained in the how to sections.

For the more mechanically minded topics like DIY maintenance, torque, horsepower as well as dark sciences like counter steering are explored. For our local South African bikers there are some useful route, accommodation, photos and information.

The essential philosophy of this site is a brief overview of each biking topic which is best printed out and read when your motorcycle is parked in the garage!
