Intro. Keeping the wheels turning... SEPTEMBER Issue 2022 We wanna hear from you info@motomedia.co.za Read our back issues at www.motomedia.co.za Our bike industry is a busy place at the mo - events and racing are literally flat out with stuff going on just about every weekend. New venues are making themselves motorcycle friendly - and of course the importers and manufacturers are rolling out bikes that are - well, quite frankly, spectacular. Its a great time to be a motorcyclist in SA for sure! In the great days of the British Empire, a new Commanding Officer was sent out on his Triumph Super Cub to a far flung outpost to relieve the retiring Colonel. After welcoming his replacement and showing the usual courtesies (gin and tonic, cucumber sandwiches, etc.) that protocol decrees, the retiring Colonel said: “You must meet my adjutant, Captain Smithers, he’s my right-hand man, he’s really the strength of this office. His talent is simply boundless.” Smithers was summoned and introduced to the new CO, who was surprised to meet a humpbacked, one eyed, toothless, hairless, scabbed and pockmarked specimen of humanity, a particularly unattractive man less than four feet tall. “Smithers, old man, tell your new CO about yourself..” “Well, sir, I graduated with honours from Sandhurst, joined the Regiment and won the Military Cross and bar after three expeditions behind enemy lines. I’ve represented Great Britain in equestrian events, and won a silver medal in the middleweight division of the Olympics. I have researched the history of.....” Here the colonel interrupted, “Yes, yes, never mind that Smithers; he can find all that in your file. Tell him about the day you told the sangoma to “Bugger off.” PUBLISHER: Glenn Foley foleyg@mweb.co.za ADVERTISING AND EDITORIAL: Sean Hendley sean@motomedia. co.za 071 684 4546 OFFICE & SUBSCRIPTIONS: Anette anette.acc@ mweb. co.za ONLINE & DESIGN LAYOUT: Kyle Lawrenson kyle@motomedia. co.za Cape Town Sales and News: Lorna Darrol lornad@motomeda. co.za 074 122 4874 PHOTOGRAPHY Stefan van der Riet CONTRIBUTORS Shado Alston Donovan Fourie Tristan Foley Kurt Beine Mike Wessels Morag Campbell Kyle Foley The Garth Taylor WWW.MOTOMEDIA.CO.ZA Have some fun Challenge yourself What?
