So, I’m going to start off with some possibly shocking and maybe<br />
even insulting comments, not to be controversial, shocking or insulting<br />
but more as a ‘Wake up’ call. If you’re easily offended please page<br />
past this article.<br />
The South African biking public does frustrate me to no end with its narrow<br />
mindedness, one dimensional-ness and over compensating egotistical<br />
approach to motorcycling. Purely because some really brilliant motorcycles<br />
are overlooked, sneered at or ignored and thus eventually dropped from<br />
the importers/distributors line up, thereby depriving the select few of us the<br />
pleasure and joy of owning and riding these great bikes.<br />
Unfortunately all markets are driven by cash flow and supply and demand of<br />
the masses dictates what we are, and are not allowed to experience. And,<br />
sadly in this country in particular, it would appear that all bikes either have<br />
to be wrapped in Tupperware with mostly unusable horsepower by at least<br />
50% of the said masses.
