Well, boys and girls, there you have it; another issue jam packed with the latest on the market from advertisers and a collection of informative articles. It’s been hectic between the Academy and the Mag but your support and anticipation for the mag makes it worth while and I want to thank you for that. From cover to cover I take you from Roger’s trip to Zambia, to the launch of the Super Tenere at Perry’s and the first of its kind Burn-Out on the Beach hosted by CMA Amanzimtoti. Once again I share with you the importance of “Dangerous Emotions” while riding and bring a selection of the latest events with the What’s on Calendar. John from Gear Up gives some insight on Adventure Jackets to compliment our Reviews on the three Adventure Bikes. I then bring you two new items I’ve seen lately like the Mitas Tyres and “Rear View” helmet. Then my friends it is time to stop and take “Time to Think” as life rushes past us and we spend too little time taking in the things that matter the most in life. Later in the mag you’ll see a few things I couldn’t overlook at the recent Chicken Rally which leaves you anxious for the next one. On the Technical side I had the opportunity to test the new Moto Ear Hearing Protection and man did that open my “ears” so to speak. You think about dressing up for the fall but never for the deafening sound of helmet noise. I also share some thoughts on the Xkulcha Dakar pants for Adventure Riders. On the review side I’ve been on the new Honda VFR1200, what a ride and then the main feature of this issue, the write-ups on the three Adventure Bikes; BMW R1200GS, KTM 990 Adventure and the all new Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere. This kept me busy and I need to add, provided me with the time of my life. Riding adventure bikes doesn’t make you grow old but rather grow up in the sense that time spent on the bike adds more value to your ride rather than the risk element of an accident on the road. Running out of space and breath I’ll close in saying thank you for your support, reader and advertiser, it is heart warming to live in this province and among people such as yourself. Keep on riding safe, make the most of it, make new friends and most importantly; keep it up. Blessings!
