    The invention of the motorbike brought with it one of life’s simple pleasures, it gave people the power to feel total freedom when taking to the great open road. It sparked up a passion within their very souls, as it provided humanity with the ability to take control of life at any given time and seize the moment by jumping on their two-wheeled lighting bolt, to travel with great thrill to any destination their heart desired. Yes, the motorbike is the ultimate machine that allows people to experience the wind brushing against their faces whilst travelling at full speed!

    Those who choose to glide around the planet not only possess the sensation of having complete freedom but will also agree that the motorbike has the added quality of holding many great mental health benefits. Many riders describe their motorcycle as being the ultimate stress-buster, an effective source of therapy, providing riders with the ability to release any built-up tension caused by the stresses of everyday life. Taking to the road upon the ultimate grounded flying machine brings riders a sense of calm, acting a reboot to the system, resulting in the feeling of being re-energized and totally refreshed.

    We May Feel Invisible but Unfortunately, We Are Not!

    The fact is, danger presents itself in every aspect of life and the decision to become a proud member of the motorbike family holds no exception. The motorcycle may harbor the qualities that lead you to believe you are completely invincible but the truth is, nobody on this earth is! That’s why avid riders all around the globe seek out ways to transform their machines into the ultimate instrument that will shield both themselves and their precious machines from enduring any severe destruction. Just like everything else in the world, the technology surrounding the motorbike has evolved and now riders everywhere can get their hands on the latest innovative equipment that will ultimately make their motorcycle safer to ride. Here are just a few smart ways on how you can make that happen!

    Purchase Innovational Air-Bag, Protective Clothing

    The technology surrounding motorcycle safety truly has reached new heights! Riders all around the globe can now come into possession of the latest, most innovative clothing, meticulously designed for ultimate safety. Inventions such as air-bag clothing have given motorcyclists all around the globe that added measure of safety. Items such as bodysuits, vests and jackets have all been armed with smart airbags and fitted with computerized systems, making it possible for the clothing to detect when an accident may be about to happen. This advanced technology makes it possible for the airbags to deploy within literally milliseconds! Hopefully saving you from a few broken bones.

    Kit-Out Your Ride With a Modern Motorcycle Windscreen

    It is a fact that when the roads are wet, the risks of being involved in an accident increase significantly! Now, to prevent your chances of falling victim to a catastrophic road collision, you can opt to equip your ride with one of the many motorcycle windscreens on the market today. Motorcycle windscreens and wind deflectors are evident in improving the aerodynamics of your ride and successfully work to protect you from weather conditions such as wind and rain, whilst also providing you with greater visibility when venturing out in potentially hazardous weather conditions. They also offer protection against pollutants that tend to accumulate upon our helmets, impairing our vision such as insects, sticks and stones.    

    Protect Your Head With a Top of The Range Motorbike Helmet

    Now, I can not stress enough how important it is to invest in your welfare by choosing a helmet that is both comfortable and safe, before deciding to take to the roads. Almost all helmets are effective in significantly protecting you from sustaining serious head injuries however, in today’s day and age the world of helmets has completely evolved, as with the innovation of protective clothing there also comes the creation of the air-bag helmet. These helmets are specifically designed to offer immediate defense in the case of an accident and are crafted for the optimum protection of the neck and the spine. These extraordinary helmets are built containing sensors and are designed to pick up on rider speed, working to react instantly when sensing the event of a crash. Saving your head from hopefully inflicting any serious damage.

    Opt For Adaptable Headlights

    Now let’s face it, the headlights have always been the Achilles heel of motorcycles, due totally to their size being on the rather small side and in doing a pretty poor job of lighting up what’s ahead. However, adaptive headlights have been constructed with electronic sensors and work to move with the motorbike as and when you take a corner, shining light in the same direction. Making it possible to have an optimum view of exactly where you are going. 

    Install an Anti-Lock Braking System

    The phenomenal anti-lock braking system has been equipped with wheel-speed sensors. These systems work to prevent the wheels of the motorcycle from locking up by determining when braking, if the situation could arise. They do this by working to swiftly reduce and then reapply the pressure of the brakes several times per second. Saving you from having to face a situation of total lock-down!

    Monitor Your Tire Pressure Electronically

    Now riding around with low tire pressure is extremely dangerous and significantly increases the risk of being involved in a nasty accident. That is why it is incredibly important to check your tire pressure on a regular basis. These days specific bikes come equipped with handy electronic monitoring systems that measure the pressure of your tires, warning you if your tire pressure is too low. By making the switch to electronic, you will ensure you are always pumped up!

    Yes, being the proud owner of a motorbike can bring with it so much joy and unlimited freedom. It can provide you with the escape you need when facing the highly stressful obstacles of everyday life! However, to ensure you can live out the rest of your days, enjoying the times riding with the wind, it is a smart idea to pimp out your ride with the best safety equipment available, to protect not only yourself but your cherished motorcycle too!

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
