Road hogs: Let your loins sing a love song
If you really want your loins to sing a love song, climb onto a Harley-Davidson motorbike - and Joe Maitland of Harley Chauffeur Rides can help you with that.Originally from somewhere in England, Maitland has owned a Harley- Davidson since 1996. At some point it occurred to him that the public would be just as enamoured with the idea of riding a Harley as he is and so he started Harley Chauffeur Rides.The company gives tours riding pillion on a Harley, often swinging by the Cradle of Humankind. Trips range from one to three hours and can cater for anything up to 10 bike riders, depending on need and circumstance.If your parents, like mine, brainwashed you into thinking that Harleys are the devil's chariot and a surefire way to end up as emergency-room practice for medical students you were misinformed.Joe's Harley looks less like death on wheels and more like a bad-ass couch with two wheels beneath it. The passenger is ensconced in a plush leather seat, which leaves your hands free to turn your Snapchat story into an Easy Rider sequel.Once you're used to the idea of not being mollycoddled by doors and seatbelts, riding a bike starts to seem like the most natural thing in the world.On your journey you may have to dodge the affections of a friendly giraffe on your lunch break while you glide along the road, leaving only a trail of guttural engine noises in your wake.For more information contact 011-472-0863 or www.gsafrica.com..
