Rallye Raid Harties: Well, that’s one for the books…

If there’s one thing the off-road/adventure community knows how to do well, it is to plan, organise and attend some epic riding events. The levels of enthusiasm for such events stretches all the way from the kitchen staff preparing sustenance for the participants through to the men and women who spend days and weeks working out and scouting the routes, not forgetting those who make the event a success by attending and
taking part.

Heine Engelbrecht and the team at ADA put on a great show and new routes were explored around the Cradle of Humankind, made possible by farm access generously granted by the farm owners.

Day one featured routes around Magaliesburg, while day two took in routes around Segwati Trails. On both days, riders were able to ride routes never before been available to motorbikes, bringing something genuinely new to the event.

As usual, the motorcycle industry of South Africa came to the party, with Yamaha South Africa being a notable supporter, having a prominent presence at ADA and offering support to Yamaha riders who were taking part.

From an early age, Harry was obsessed with anything that moved under its own steam, particularly cars and motorcycles. For reasons of a financial nature, his stable of fine automobiles failed to materialise, at which point he realised that motorcycles were far more affordable and so he started his two wheel career, owning, riding, building and fixing many classic bikes. Then came the day when he converted his love of bikes into a living, writing, filming and talking about them endlessly. The passion for four wheels never left him, however, and he has now converted his writing skills into singing the praises of cars in all their infinite variety. Bikes are still his favourite means of getting around but the car in its modern form is reaching a level of perfection that is hard to resist. And they're warmer in winter....
