I bought a South African motorcycle! 🇿🇦[S5 – Eps. 2]
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
After moving to South Africa, Itchy Boots begins Season 5 with a practical first task: finding a motorcycle. The search takes the episode to a Johannesburg neighbourhood and a shop selling second-hand bikes, where a new riding companion is found.
About this film
This episode of Season 5 – Southern Africa centres on setting up for the motorcycle journey ahead. Itchy Boots explains that getting around Johannesburg by Uber does not suit her, and makes finding a bike her first mission after the move. The title presents the search as a purchase, while the description identifies the motorcycle as second-hand. The film’s focus is less on a long ride than on the step that makes future riding possible: choosing a machine to start the season with.
The journey
The search is based around Bryanston, a neighbourhood of Johannesburg. Itchy Boots books a guesthouse there because it is within walking distance of Fire it Up, a motorcycle shop that sells used bikes. The description says it does not take long to find a new “partner in crime” for Season 5. The series is catalogued as a Southern Africa journey, and this episode follows the move to South Africa into the opening preparations for that season. Its travel thread is the transition from arriving in a new country to finding a motorcycle for the road.
What to expect
- A motorcycle search following Itchy Boots’ move to South Africa.
- A visit to Fire it Up, a shop selling second-hand motorcycles.</li
