I live in Melkbosstrand, a quiet little seaside town just north of Cape Town. For 20 years I flew helicopters into the darkest corners of Africa, certainly a very unique way to experience this epic continent. Nowadays, I have a far more relaxed life, mostly surfing, kiteboarding, and of course, riding motorcycles.
It’s an absolute privilege to ride for Cape Sidecar Adventures, a fantastic way to show off Cape Town in a way passengers will never forget.
