Thanks to Dave and his team for the chance to ride Harley through the stunning scenery of Cape Town. As a member of the HOG St. Petersburg, Russia, I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to ride one here. We loved every minute of it! Thank you for the warm welcome and excellent organization—everything was great! And the roads were an absolute joy to ride! I’ll be back, and I’ll bring my whole team with me! ;)

Awesome Harley Day We had the best day hiring a Harley Davison for my partner and I and 2 chauffeured Harley’s for our teenage girls. From making the booking through What’s app, Dave kept us informed of the weather and welcomed us. We had Half a day around Cape Town having such a thrilling time and laughing with our drivers. The price was super reasonable and we hired jackets too. I will remember this beautiful day and how Dave, Lou, & Isch made it possible. Thank you Makani Motorcycles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
