There is nothing like feeling of freedom you get from riding a motorcycle. Two wheels you and the Road.It is a passion, Freedom of the wind in your hair and the road at your feet. It is just a way to get out of the real-life basically and it is real pleasure, If you love the open road more than your grandaddy, chances are you’re part of africa’s growing Biker Culture,
Motorcycling, as a sport, is not very popular in Africa primarily because of the potential dangers involved. Many motorists do not obey traffic laws and potholes in the middle of the road can be fatal
but the leather clad kind culture is here

our beloved Diversions. From this came an idea that it just might be a good idea to get a formal type of club
Bikers are a breed unto themselves. Their lifestyle is clearly defined by their clothing, the way they relate to each other, and their love of the open road; not to mention their motorcycles.It's how they relate best--the joy of experiencing together "the beauty of love in the wind."

If this growth and trend across Africa continues at its current pace, it could certainly provide new business opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs But being part of the African motorcycle clubs takes more than just wanting to be cool. It takes a passion for the open road, freedom, and a lifestyle that even the best find we Ride because we love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath you. But most of all, ride to better understand ourself, our machines, the lands in which we ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself. my word Get yourself the real thing, not those plastics helmets but a real helmet no matter the price it is worth it,watch the speed bro, i know it's tempting ,we ride because it is fun. we ride because we enjoy the freedom we feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding  a cautious biker would put on appropriate biking gear, including helmet, gloves and riding boots and would ride at a comfortable speed.More details to follow ... Ride safe!.. |
