Africa riders
Thanks to jsteinb95 for setting this section up. How many fazer owners are from Africa, specifically South Africa?
I know there are quite a lot on the roads, a friend has 2, an '04 and an '08. I'll try get some pics posted from this side of the world. Safe riding all!

Re: Africa riders
I don't think our terrain is very much different, but i think the circumstances are. Roads are not safe here, so we need to be more careful in ALL respects.
I'm in Johannesburg, and the biggest problem is getting out the city, to quiet roads. The best available roads are in the eastern transvaal, about 4 hours ride form here. Twisties deluxe

Re: Africa riders
Live in Modderfontein, commute daily to Honeydew. Had several bikes, but absolutely LOVE my Fazer (Red).
Thanks for the invite by the way!

Re: Africa riders
OK ... need some ideas here please.
I've posted all over the local biker sites, and contacted Yamaha about their client lists. They tell me they tried to organise a fazer run and only had 4 responses ... so the tone was really negative. They are having something in November i believe, i've asked to be kept updated, and will copy here. We already have about 5 bikes in the area lined up, seemingly more than yamaha could muster. But i see the other fazers DAILY, there are many out there ... How do i get a hold of fazer owners around here, short of flagging them down on the side of the road ... i'm at that point
