Let's Have Fun - And Stay Alive
We all want to have a blast on our bikes, while still keeping ourselves in one piece.
The best way to to this is to do rider training.
This is important for both on-road and off-road riding. It doesn’t help if you ride like a GS Trophy champion offroad but get taken out by a taxi on your way to work.
South Africa is privileged to have world-class training companies that offer a variety of types of training.
Below is a list of schools we have worked with, or trained with:
Road (Johannesburg)
Biker Bravado
Based in Randburg, this training school offers an excellent course for beginner GS riders. The owner, Malcolm, is a passionate GS rider himself and he loves to help riders get the most out of their bike, while remaining as safe as possible.

Doing in-person training is the best but in addition to this, we highly recommend these two YouTube channels for training: Bret Tkacs | MotoJitsu
