    Hi all!


    New to Adventure Rider and very happy to be here! I know they are on this forum so I would like to say a big thank you to Ara & Spirit for the inspiration to do what I am now doing, travelling around South Africa with my dog 'Tau'.

    Packed up house and home a few weeks ago and started riding with my BMW 1150 GSA, sidecar, Tau and my girlfriend, Sylvia. You can view our website and daily blog/journal at www.smilinginthewind.com


    I am also going to be touring from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe through Botswana and the Okavango Delta and the length and breadth of Namibia in June, also updating my blog along the way on this one too.

    Tau and I would LOVE to ride with you Ara... but there again perhaps we already are.


    Best wishes from South Africa

    Keith & Tau

    Welcome aboard Keith and Tau! Beautiful hack and like the red Doggles Tau is wearing. But more to the point, how about cluing us in a bit more about Angie and her g-spot. :lol3

    Hi there, it's a Heeler sidecar that I modified a bit for our offroad conditions with a 6mm steel plate under and a hinged front for my 9 year old, 55kg doggy.

    That dog is almost as spoiled as Barley! Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Reviving an old thread... I just came across @Rigged4Life's videos on Youtube, and thought they were quite pleasant. Interesting sidecar from South Africa...

    Doesn't seem to still be active on this site, though. Hope they are still having adventures!
