To compete in two extremely different SA National Motorcycle Championships – THAT is the life of the multiple SA National Off-road and Enduro Motorcycle Champion, Altus de Wet, who has just successfully completed a cold, wet and muddy Winterberg Enduro in Port Elizabeth and is now ready to leave for the Toyota Kalahari Botswana Desert Race 1000 (TDR) off-road race.

The first round of the 2016 National Enduro Motorcycle Championship took place at Utrecht in KwaZulu-Natal and the first points are on the scoreboard for #Altie – Altus de Wet – who competes this year with Yamaha.

The final two rounds of the TOTPAK National Off-road Motorcycle and Quad Championships, the BC 400 that took place from Brandvlei Cellars outside Worcester in the Western Cape, will be remembered as being tough and demanding on riders and their equipment and blistered hands, sore bodies and hammered racing machines were proof that these two races will go down as the hardest of the 2015 season.

The Stella Bush2Bush Challenge, the fourth round of the TOTPAK National Off-road Motorcycle and Quad Championship that took place at Stella in the North-West Province on June 6^th, lived up to the expectations and produced some great racing action in all the classes despite a chilly start to race day with temperatures dropping below zero degrees Celcius.

Close! That is the only word to accurately describe the standings in the various class championships of the 2015 Liquorland National Enduro Motorcycle Championship and with the fourth of six rounds happening this weekend in the Ashton area in the Western Cape, time is starting to run out for those riders who have their eyes on a national title at the end of the season.

Off-road racing for young motorcycle and quad competitors between the ages of seven and 16 years, might not have a long history in South Africa, but the Junior National Championship has had a strong following since being introduced almost a decade ago. After no racing on national level last year, the series was again introduced this year and the second round of the new Raslouw Academy Junior National Championship that took place in the Mooi River area in KwaZulu-Natal, attracted entries from all over the country.
