Tony who owns South African Motorcycle Tours cc

rode his first bike when 16 (an ancient Aerial Square Four), kept it hidden outside his school gates and never stopped riding since. This was followed by geology involving world wide travels searching for undersea oil. Then followed many years initially as a hovercraft pilot and then as a consultant. Finally wanting to settle somewhere Tony came to Cape Town where hovercraft are not needed but bikes are, so started “South African Motorcycle Tours cc.”

Sixteen years later it is not so much the riding as the companionship with bikers from all over the world that keeps him going and loving his work. Hence the company and group sizes are deliberately kept small to facilitate one to one wide ranging conversations. We use only late model BMW bikes and small quality country lodge type accommodations.

Our customers average age is 48, most come with partners, the majority are from the professions and from the U.K and Germany. Routes are chosen for their scenic value and interesting driving and are therefore virtually all on paved (tar) surfaces. Other motorcycle tour operators cater for younger people who may want to party and drink late each night and ride dirt roads.
