    Hi Everyone.

    I'm from SA and the Missus and I love touring through our country on our 2015 Trophy SE. Wonderful machine, easy handling, super light on fuel and lots of gadgets.

    We have covered 26000 kms since 2015 and loved every moment. We are a group of four bikes consisting of two Harleys (Soft Tail Custom and an Ultra Glide Classic) a BMW 1250RT and the Triumph.

    We mostly do long trips (at least once a Month) of 500kms or more and every other sunday is time for a Quick Sunday ride. Lots of wonderful places in SA.

    Great being on the group and already feeling at home.

    Regards
    Dawie

    Yes, even internal to our group there are always squabbles about the 2 Harleys vs the rest. Luckily for the Beemer and the Triumph we created a consolidated opposition under the umbrella that BMW owns much of Triumph. Its always in a friendly manner and we give the Harley part of the clan lots of trouble.
