SMG MOTORRAD UMHLANGA<br />
Here is a dealership that is just growing<br />
from strength to strength. We first met<br />
them in 2012 when they were based in<br />
Mt. Edgecombe, they then moved into<br />
bigger and nicer premises in Umhlanga<br />
Ridge for a year or three or four. Most<br />
recently, they have just had a bespoke<br />
dealership built on the edge of Umhlanga<br />
Ridge overlooking Umhlanga Rocks and<br />
the Ocean on Umhlanga Rocks drive at<br />
the corner of Ncondo Place in the all new<br />
Umhlanga Arch.<br />
Besides a view to linger at, the new SMG<br />
dealership sports a very nice high end<br />
coffee shop with really great coffee and<br />
baked goods to give you even more reason<br />
to linger longer at the view. As is the norm<br />
with most Motorrad dealerships these days,<br />
they are integrated with Auto. However, the<br />
Motorrad side is not tucked away in the back<br />
somewhere as an afterthought but rather<br />
stand shoulder to shoulder with the Auto<br />
side. And, it goes without saying they are<br />
well stocked with all the latest and greatest<br />
from BMW including every conceivable<br />
accessory, gear and go faster bits. Their<br />
workshop has a reputation for being<br />
staffed by highly qualified, professional<br />
and passionate technicians delivering high<br />
quality workmanship. The guys on the sales<br />
floor are equally well versed on all things<br />
Motorrad and are all passionate BMW<br />
owners and riders themselves, regularly<br />
organising trips up to Phakisa for track days<br />
with the crowd from Track-Daze, with whom<br />
they have been associated with for the past<br />
two-years now, they also often do breakfast<br />
runs out to beautiful spots like the famous<br />
Valley of a Thousand hills and etc.<br />
Motorrad manager, Colin Mackrory and<br />
the sales team always try to make it as<br />
easy as possible to get your leg over a<br />
new or even one of their pre-loved BMW’s.<br />
The Big Guy looking after all your After<br />
Sales requirements is Phil Marx, (dad to<br />
our legendary Springbok hooker Malcolm<br />
Marx), and he can get you really sorted with<br />
a bevy of cool gadgets, your next service,<br />
tyres and anything else biking related you<br />
might need. And, as if those weren’t enough<br />
reasons to get excited about SMG Motorrad,<br />
they also have a second dealership with<br />
even more stock based up on the north<br />
coast in Richards Bay.<br />
Give them a call on 031 502 9800,<br />
(Umhlanga), or 035 426 0020, (North<br />
Coast) or drop in at Umhlanga Arch, 1<br />
Ncondo place (cnr Umhlanga Rocks drive),<br />
Umhlanga Ridge or 2 Bauxite Bay, Alton,<br />
Richards Bay for a chat and a cup of really<br />
great coffee and a muffin.<br />
A really nice place to hang out and<br />
get an excellent cup of coffee.<br />
Phil Marx, (yup .. that’s Malcolms dad), he<br />
loves his vocation in life almost as much<br />
as he loves watching his lad play rugby.<br />
Colin Mackrory, the man at the helm.<br />
He is very passionate about the BMW<br />
brand as you can see below.<br />
