Timeless Classic - Ep 04 - Riders stories - Part 2
In this #TimelessClassic episode of the Ride Pure podcast, Gordon May speaks with three South African Classic riders, Tania Ferreira, Herman Martinus and Elias Basson.
Tania Ferreira is a businesswoman, adventure seeker and Royal Enfield Classic rider from Port Elizabeth on South Africa's Eastern Cape. She was sold on an organised trip to India after seeing pictures of Royal Enfields riding through the snow walls of Baralacha Pass and invested in a Royal Enfield Classic 500 as preparation for the ride. She immediately fell in love with it.
Herman Martinus can often be spotted zipping around Cape Town or winding down the Cape's coastal roads on his Classic 500 Desert Storm, a motorcycle he was inspired to buy after riding one around Nepal. His dream is to one day make a trans-African road trip on it.
Hailing from Stellenbosch, one of the oldest heritage towns in South Africa, Elias Basson instantly connected with the timeless charm of the Classic 500 the first time he saw one. As an engineer, he was enthralled by its simple design and proven engineering. He bought his maroon Classic 500 from an 82-year-old rider who had to give up riding and has never looked back.
