Dreadlocks and Ducatis

Guitar on lap and unfazed by the morning’s stream of journalists, five-time Grammy Award winner Ziggy Marley, doesn’t immediately strike one as an adventure biker, taking in South Africa on a Ducati Multistrada 1200 motorcycle. But perceptions often belie reality, something Ziggy and brothers Robbie and Rohan are discovering on their World Cup road trip. The Marley brothers are in South Africa, along with director/producer David Alexanian (who filmed Ewan McGregor’s motorcycle trips across the world in the series Long Way Round and Long Way Down) to work on a documentary entitled Marley Africa Roadtrip. It is Robbie Marley who is the real star on the bike, working as a stunt rider on several major productions, but both Ziggy and entrepreneur and philanthropist Rohan have discovered the joy of the open road and the wind in their hair – or dreadlocks in this case. The show promises to “provide viewers with an intriguing look into a legendary musical family”, although the brothers see it more as an opportunity to shine a different light on the world’s view of Africa. “It is all about South Africa, because South Africa is a leader in Africa and we want to high-light that,” says Ziggy. Although Africa’s first World Cup provided an ideal backdrop for the documentary, it is not going to be the entire focus of the documentary. “The World Cup is only the plate on which we are going to serve the dish; it is not the dish,” says Ziggy. “We have to prepare the dish that we want to serve. We want to use the opportunity that Africa has now to continue moving Africa forward,” he continues. The trip also marks 30 years since Bob Marley travelled to Southern Africa to perform a landmark concert celebrating unity and freedom. Ziggy was with him on that trip and it is something that he reflects on regularly. “That was my introduction into Africa and the culture and the struggle that Africa went through and continues to go through, and that plays a big part in why I am here today and why we want to continue playing our part in the upliftment of Africa,” he says. Since arriving in South Africa, the brothers have found themselves warmly welcomed whether they were recognised or not and, besides the sudden drop in temperature, their journey has been a positive, eye-opening experience, with all three siblings commenting on the country’s beauty, modernity, de-velopment and friendliness. “I wouldn’t say we have had any challenges yet. It has just been lovely for us, just to see Africa, how advanced SA is compared to a lot of places in the world, and wonderful to see development,” says Rohan. The only real challenge they have faced this far hasn’t come from being in the country itself, but from the negative hype back home. “For us it was more the stories we had heard before we came to SA, ‘the violence’ this and that, so the challenge was not to get caught up or overcome by the negative hype that some people were trying to put across,” says Robbie.

Swallow Rally 2010 - Cape Province

A number of Chosen Ones made it to the Swallow Rally in the Cape this year. Most of the guys rode down while a few decided to take the easy route and fly down. The guys who rode also stopped in Mossel Bay and a number of other places along the way. Once again Dik Donner and Bizza made it a point to have some ice cream on the way back. Their systems are still recovering. Hopefully the group riding down will be much bigger next year.

Bok's Bike Adventure

In 2010, Gareth "Bok" Davey will be attempting a Trans-Africa trip on his trusty motorbike, a KTM990 Adventure. The idea is to head from South Africa through East Africa and on to Egypt. The route will be made up has Bok goes along but the aim is to try and see as many interesting people and places as possible. Bok will set off from Johannesburg in early March 2010.

Biker punches traffic cop

AHMEDABAD: A 52-year-old head constable with city traffic branch was beaten up by a biker on Friday morning. The incident took place when the traffic cop tried to stop the biker from talking on phone while driving a bike without number plate.

Punched in the face by the biker, he collapsed on the road. Later, public got hold of the youth and beat him up while the constable was sent to a nearby hospital. Officials arrested the youth for assault on government employee on duty.

According to Maninagar police station officials, Bhanuprasad Parmar, a head constable with city traffic branch, was deployed at Maninagar crossroads for last fortnight. At 10.45 am on Friday, he was manning the road when he spotted a youth on a bike talking on mobile phone.

"Parmar has mentioned in his complaint that he tried to stop the youth, later identified as Mayur Mistry, a resident of Maninagar and working as an executive with a mobile service provider. Mistry first slowed down a bit and when Parmar tried to get his key, Mistry again kept his hands on accelerator," said a Maninagar police station official.

At that juncture, Mistry took up a fight with Parmar over his action and said that he would not pay up as everybody talks on phone. When Parmar insisted on taking fine, he punched him on face four times, hitting him so badly that he collapsed on ground with blood running from his nose.
