About Us

Hey! I am Francois and I’ve loved anything with wheels since I can remember. When I was 25 a friend and I took our old XT500's on a short trip and I fell in love with adventure bike riding.

Shortly after getting married my wife and I rode from Cape to Cairo on 200 cc Chinese road bikes. It took us 90 days to cover the 15 500 km.

From time to time I write motorcycle reviews for sports magazines and the local newspapers and attend the odd bike launch when I have to opportunity.
