Born and bred on a farm in the Kalahari ‘desert’ in Namibia, and moved to Cape Town in 1974. Worked in the corporate motor industry for a long time. Although, we in Cape Town, live in the most beautiful place in the world, I have also been privileged to have traveled widely in Southern Africa and overseas. Started riding motorbikes in 1974 and now have the opportunity to share this wonderful sidecar experience and Cape Town and surrounds with all our customers and of course have my fellow motorcycling comrades providing free entertainment on every ride.
