Newbie from South Africa

[bmad]

Hi all

Newbie here from South Africa.
I am a biker at heart and I hope to add to my collection soon with an acquisition of a monster

I am not a brand loyalist as I like most bikes, styles and designs.
Currently have a beast - BMW 1150 GS Adventure  which has a couple of miles on it, to be exact I just hit 113 000km!
I also have a young lady - a 1936 Panther, 600 sloper. She is a beaut of a bike and took many years to lovingly restore her to her former beauty. She also has a sidecar and my wife and I get to take her to some of the lovely riding spots in our country and take part in regularity trail rallies.
I also have a 1976 Yamaha FS1 which I am busy restoring

I commute daily on my BM and I have decided to put him away for a while and begin a restore on him as soon as the fizzy is done.
I have my eye on a 2006 695 monster which I plan to use to commute with on some days as well as for fun riding.

Looking forward to being part of this forum.

Cheers

That Panther, a big 600 sloper.

Brands dont matter. The only thing that matters is that you are on 2 wheels (well, 3 is ok as long as its a sidecar)
Welcome to the forum. Just because you dont have a monster in the garage doesn't mean you cant hang out.
I grew up in italy but have visited tunisia (north africa) a few times. It is a different world there from my current residence in florida USA.
Stick around and post SEVERAL pics of your restoration projects
