The Motorcycle Room

Running guided tours in Knysna means working with terrain and timing that shift with the seasons. Winter brings treacherous wet roads and reduced visibility through the forests; summer opens up the open-road sections but demands early starts before heat builds up. The Motorcycle Room operates within those constraints—route planning has to account for seasonal road closures on some passes, tyre grip on loose gravel after rain, and the reality that Knysna's small-town traffic patterns can bottleneck at unexpected moments. Local knowledge isn't just about knowing pretty spots; it's about reading weather patterns off the ocean, understanding which back roads stay passable when the main routes get congested with holiday traffic, and timing stops at viewpoints to avoid the tour-bus herds. That practical competence is what separates a memorable ride from a frustrating one.
