Since 2015, Bonafide Moto Co has been hosting their annual motorcycle festival & summer camp called the Sabie Bubble Run. It’s a 5-day motorcycle event that starts in Johannesburg where the group ride starts at Triumph Motorcycles in Johannesburg and takes you to Sabie River Camp where you’ll spend the next 4 nights there riding each day.
“We’ve always had people say it’s such a great way to end the year. The riding out in Mpumulanga is so good and we find it’s been a great way for riders to connect with others and just kick back in the evenings,” said Joe Fleming owner of Bonafide Moto Co.
At the Sabie Bubble Run, the event is open to all brands and models of bikes as each day there will be recommended tar and off-road rides available. Each off-road ride will have a ride leader, sweep and technician on hand to assist with any issues.
The rides usually return to Sabie River Camp mid-afternoon where riders can then enjoy some downtime. There is a dining hall setup at the Bubble Run where “The Woodsman” caters to hearty meals for both breakfast and dinner family-style meals.
“Having food served at camp has been a great way to avoid having to go into town for meals, have riders coming back late and makes for a great way for riders to connect with others.”
Event Highlights Include:
- Off-road and tar-focused outrides: Explore the beauty of Mpumalanga on guided or recommended motorcycle routes tailored for all skill levels. Expect a journey filled with stunning vistas, open roads, great lunch spots and an opportunity to connect with new friends.
- Various Accommodations: With multiple accommodation options, there are tickets for everyone’s budget at The Bubble Run. Choose from camping (bring your own tent), to glamping (stretcher, tent, mattress & sleeping bag included) and even various chalet options to keep you out of the Sabie rains!
- Test Rides: We’ll have a range of Triumph motorcycles for you to test ride at The Bubble Run.
- Triumph Workshop: Minor repairs and challenges always come up on rides so we’ll have a dedicated workshop at The Bubble Run to assist you with whatever mechanical issues you might run into.
- Motul Bike Wash & Products: Our friends from Motul will be there with their bike wash station and the full range of MC Care Products for you to use each day to make sure your bike is in tip-top shape!
- Motul Moto Games: This is always a highlight of the weekend! Test your skills and humility at the one-and-only Motul Moto Games where all riders are encouraged to participate.
- Family-style breakfast & dinner included: At The Bubble Run you won’t have to worry about heading into town or paying bills for breakfast & dinner. Our friends at The Woodsman cater breakfast & dinner at camp where we have a chow/dining hall setup for meals. This makes it easy to kick back in the evenings without having to ride into town for dinner & drinks. We’ve got a full bar at camp too!
