Riding is still a regular part of his work though, in that guiding tours is a passion he'll always have, and researching new routes and regions allows RIDE Adventures to continue growing and providing reliable travel services to adventure minded riders and travelers from around the world. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) The RIDE Adventures blog post pitting the KTM 990 Adventure against the BMW R1200GS has gained such popularity on the web that a South African Powersports Newspaper has asked to copy it for use in one of their issues!  In fact, it was just printed and is now on the stands in the Kruger National Park area, Nelspruit (Lowveld Region) of South Africa. The use of this review coincides with the upcoming [Lowveld Dual Bike Adventure](http://www.ldba.co.za/) set to take place from June 8-10, 2012 at the Badplaas Aventura Resort, and these two bikes are obviously on-topic with the types of riders that will participate. Our participation in the event, while not guaranteed at this point, is certainly on the list of possibilities.  We are quite wrapped up in other [motorcycle tours](https://www.rideadv.com/tours-by-type/dual-sport-motorcycle-tours/?hsLang=en-us) and events this year, but to those who can attend, "HAVE FUN!" ![LowvveldSouthAfricaPg.1](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/file-14278392-jpg/images/lowvveldsouthafricapg.1.jpg?width=549&height=803&name=lowvveldsouthafricapg.1.jpg) ![LowveldSouthAfricaPg.2](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/file-14278356-jpg/images/lowveldsouthafricapg.2.jpg?width=550&height=804&name=lowveldsouthafricapg.2.jpg) ![LowveldSouthAfricaPg3](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/file-14278371-jpg/images/lowveldsouthafricapg3.jpg?width=550&height=804&name=lowveldsouthafricapg3.jpg) ### Subscribe to the RIDE Adventures blog by Email  [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/43106/952ef3c8-c8e3-4b4d-833a-e2ce5b612f3c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/43106/952ef3c8-c8e3-4b4d-833a-e2ce5b612f3c) ### Browse by Category - [4x4 Adventures (2)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/4x4-adventures) - [Adventure Packing & Planning (37)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/adventure-packing-planning) - [Fixes & Maintenance (16)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/fixes-maintenance) - [Motorcycle 101 (3)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-101) - [Motorcycle Gear (93)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-gear) - [Motorcycle Product Reviews (59)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-product-reviews) - [Motorcycle Rentals (10)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-rentals) - [Motorcycle Reviews (49)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-reviews) - [Motorcycle Safety (39)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-safety) - [Motorcycle Tours (39)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-tours) - [Motorcycle Training (27)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-training) - [Motorcycle Travel Info (102)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/motorcycle-travel-info) - [News & Events (138)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/news-events) - [thailand (1)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/thailand) - [travel advice & suggestions (1)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/travel-advice-suggestions) - [Trip Reports (40)](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/topic/trip-reports) [see all](https://www.rideadv.com/ride-adventures-tour-and-rentals-blog/bid/83469/RIDE-Adventures-article-featured-in-South-African-newspaper#) ### Latest Posts ## Start Your Reservation Process Now.
