- It’s What We Do
Adventure Motorcycle Equipment’s Darin Rowley grabbed the chance for a ride in South Africa. In a twist, loose planning was a big plus.
A lan ‘Blue’ Henriksen was on the phone with a perceptible edge of excitement in his voice. As Blue was generally uncontactable through electronic media, it could mean only one thing: he must’ve had a grouse idea for a ride. Excellent.
The organisation
The phone pleasantries were wrapped up in three seconds and Blue finally got to the point. It went something along the lines of, “Hey you little bald-headed bike-riding menace, I’m in South Africa in late May. Why don’t you get your arse there too? We can hire a couple of F800GSs and go for a wander.”
