The new, superbike benchmark setting Ducati Panigale V4 is here! It comes in the V4, V4 S and V4 Speciale. Looking at the Ducati website, it seems the only difference between them is 1kg, a few KWs/HP, colours and price - ranging from R280k, right up to R650k!

Its 1103 cm3 displacement produces a whopping 214 Horse Power (Speciale 226 HP) and is set to be the boss of super sports bikes. Ducati says, "It marks a new and important chapter in Ducati's history, a "symphony"of performance and emotions that's 100% Italian."

Meet Andy - Our Adopted Dog From The SPCA

On the 11th of March 2017, we adopted Shilo from the SPCA at a guestimated 6 months old. Shilo being roughly 6 months old when we met him had spent half his life at the SPCA animal shelter. He was labeled a wirehair terrier cross. Some vets think he's mixed with a white shepherd and I'd say his temperament matches. Shilo was renamed Andy and is now an integral part of our family.

This video is to document his growth from adoption to the even more adored 1 year old Andy.

We really respect all the hard work the SPCA, and all other dog rescue non-profits do for beautiful dogs and animals without a home. Welcome to our lives Andy, part 2 in the making...

Cruise From China Around Japan - Royal Caribbean

We boarded a cruise from Shanghai, China. Sailed the next 6 days on a remarkable experience around the south west coast of Japan to Sakaiminato, Fakoaka and Kumamoto on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. A technologically unique cruise ship with the world's highest view point at sea, skydiving and robotic barmen. After the cruise we spent one night in central Shanghai.

Snow Skiing in France

I was extremely fortunate to be invited to snow ski in France in January 2017. I stayed at Chalet Hotel La Foret in Peisey Vallandry with my father and friends at a ski-in, ski-out resort (right on a slop), which was awesome as there was no need to travel to and from the hotel to ski lifts each day. Paradiski has over 425 km's of slopes between Les Arcs, Peisey Vallandry and La Plagne and an extensive network of ski lifts and gondolas which makes getting between valleys a breeze.

The trip was absolutely amazing, sub zero degree temperatures and all. We had good snowfall just before we arrived so the pistes were perfect. I took the GoPro with and managed to rack up over 70 gigs of footage, which was a lot to sift through, so I ended up creating two videos, a summary video (above) and a slightly longer one (below) which has more skiing action on the slopes.

Misverstand Dam Year-End Holiday @ Club Elani

I've been going to Misverstand Dam since I was 7 years old, "paradise close to Cape Town for outdoor and water-sport enthusiasts", as my pops describes it. Our caravan and boat live at Misverstand and we usually camp right next to the water and jetty. I was only there for 3 nights this past December and it was the first time taking my GoPro. Loads of mounting options seen for future.

Misverstand Dam is located off the N7, just past Moorreesburg heading away from Cape Town.
