Hi MEM Team, My submission for April's Bikes with a Theme page - 'Your Bike... And A River' attached. '... And A River', or '... In A River'?! Well, there's 2 images attached, because I really couldn't choose, so I'm leaving it up to you! Pictures taken in the Gamtoos River, Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve in the Eastern Cape, of me and my trusty 1997 BMW R1100GS, 'Big Red', wading through the overflowing river, July 2015. The pictures were taken by my mates, Andrew King & Steven Van Sittert, who had just joined me for the last stage of a 4-stage, 8000km trip that saw me heading up the east coast of South Africa, from Cape Town to Mozambique, Swaziland and then the famous Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve, before heading back home to Cape Town. Thank you for a great magazine, we South Africans really love it... Warm regards from Cape Town, South Africa! David Harris
