BMW R 1300 GS TROPHY
Your BMW R 1300 GS Trophy
Go your own way
Especially when there’s no road ahead of you, I’m right at your side. You have the courage. The will. And the belief in yourself. You need a bike that can keep up with you. It’s only when you go off road that you can really see who has leadership qualities – on the part of the rider and the motorcycle. Each obstacle reveals our true character. You can rest assured that I’ll never let you down. That is the #SpiritOfGS. And that is my promise, as your R 1300 GS Trophy.
Highlights for True Adventurers
You plough through sand, climb hills, and cross waterways: This equipment is made for you. From the radiator grille guards to the high rider’s seat – everything is designed to tap into the full off-road potential of you and your bike, so that you can concentrate fully on the challenges that lie ahead.
You can face any challenge
Every obstacle can be a reason to rejoice. The optional Enduro package Pro gives you everything you need for a magnificent off-road experience. Moreover, the spray guard installed on the rear wheel as standard protects you against dirt in an impressive way: The air channel created while riding guides the dirt particles away from you. The Sport grab handle, Sport windscreen and Sport rear footrest round out the equipment of the GS Trophy.
Stay in control at all times
In off-road terrain, you can’t always control what the trail ahead will bring. However, you do have full control of your bike – and you can take charge in any situation. Among other reasons, this is due to the concentrated vehicle mass in connection with a low vehicle weight. The easy handling and optimal freedom of movement can also be attributed to the flat tank platform and the short rear. The impressive riding stability is provided by the unique BMW EVO Telelever, among other things. Additionally, the conceptual division of the seat provides more ergonomical variation. Anything fits, anything goes.
Just follow your instincts
Whatever you have planned, the right drive can help you achieve it. The 145 hp boxer gives you everything you could ever want. Especially offroad, you can appreciate the confidence and control you have over the engine. The ShiftCam technology ensures a comfortably smooth and quiet ride, even at low speeds. With a displacement of 1,300 ccm, nothing can stop you, even on treacherous terrain. You can rely on exquisite performance, maximum control, and unrivalled superiority.
FACTS FOR OFF-ROAD ENTHUSIASTS
107 kW (145 hp) at 7,750 rpm

Why do women outlive men?
South African women are outliving men by as much as seven years. Why is this and what can men do to ensure they stay healthy?
“According to Statistics SA, life expectancy at birth for 2014 was estimated at 59,1 years for males and 63,1 years for females. This is borne out by statistics which suggest that women in this country are outliving men by a substantial margin,” says Professor Jacques Snyman, a Clinical Expert. “There are a number of reasons for this including the fact that men tend to engage in more reckless behaviour, consume more alcohol, drive at higher speeds and are less inclined to take care of their health than women.”
“In addition, women may be said to in some ways be naturally ‘hardwired’ to live longer than men,” he adds. “For instance, women have, at least until after menopause, considerably less of a risk of suffering from heart disease, a major killer in South Africa. This is because they are protected by the hormone oestrogen, which keeps their arteries stronger and more flexible.”
According to Snyman, another important reason why men tend die younger than women is that males tend to pay less attention to their health. Men are generally less inclined to have medical scheme cover and to visit the doctor when they have health concerns. Indeed, he says female members of Resolution Health are much more likely to make use of their scheme benefits than men.
Just what are the health issues that men should consider and how may they be best addressed? Snyman says prostate cancer is one of the better known male health issues but points out that there are also a host of others. They include conditions such as lung, colorectal, testicular and skin cancers; type 2 diabetes; heart disease; stroke; emphysema; and mental health problems, to name just a few.
“Some of these diseases can be avoided altogether through the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. In the overwhelming majority of cases these medical conditions can also be successfully managed if they are detected early,” adds Snyman.
“Consider the cases of prostate and testicular cancers. The treatment of these diseases has advanced at a rapid rate in recent years to the extent that they can usually be cured when they are detected early. Indeed, 80% of prostate cancer and 95% of testicular cancer cases can be cured with timeous and appropriate treatment.”
Snyman warns that it is not just older men who are at risk. Testicular cancer, by way of example, most commonly occurs in men between the ages of 17 and 35. “Males of all ages face risks and should take the necessary steps to protect their health,” he argues. “Men can address health or potential health problems if they pay closer attention to their wellbeing and follow a life enhancing lifestyle from an early age.” He suggests that men can take better care of their health in a number of ways. We can, for instance, learn to check our own blood pressure to ensure that this is within healthy levels.
Prof Snyman makes the following additional health recommendations to South African men:
• Improve your lifestyle. Eating healthily and exercising regularly have numerous benefits and assist to keep the body strong. Regular exercise is good for the heart and helps reduce high cholesterol levels and has even been shown to improve moods.
• Lose weight. There are a number of health risks associated with being obese and living a sedentary lifestyle. These include a higher risk of developing type II diabetes and high blood pressure.
• Give up smoking. Smoking can cause a range of cancers, lung diseases as well as heart disease. Quitting smoking has a number health benefits.
• Reduce alcohol intake. Excessive, regular drinking can increase blood pressure and even damage organs such as the liver.
• Manage your stress levels. Stress over the long-term can cause wear and tear to the body’s systems and negatively impact one’s sense of well-being. Men should find ways to manage stress better. Exercise and talk therapy are just two activities men can undertake to reduce stress levels.
Taking a few basic precautions can go a long way towards protecting our health. No one wants to become ill and we as South African men should be doing more to make sure that we stay strong for the sake of our families and ourselves.
Let us all take responsibility for taking care of our health, wellbeing and happiness. No one else is going to do this for us.

SPEL TUSSEN MEESTER EN MONSTER
‘n Reeksmoordenaar maai bekendes op ‘n streep af. En Kassie en Rooi moet hom vastrek. Maar dit is makliker gesê as gedaan.
Die moordenaar se beplanning is onberispelik en hy laat smetlose moordtonele agter. Boonop pantser deeglike navorsing hom teen foute wat reeksmoordenaars se doppies in die verlede geklink het.
Kassie-hulle is met die rug teen die muur. Weens bisarre boodskappe by die lyke, beland hulle telkens in ‘n doodloopstraat. Die slagoffers se hoë profiele veroorsaak ook ‘n ongekende mediaherrie, wat bykomende druk op die ondersoekspan plaas.
Kassie probeer tevergeefs om agter die ware motief vir die wreedaard se moorde te kom. En Rooi pak ‘n ondersoek aan wat sy loopbaan en lewe op die spel plaas.
Die Spesiale Spookeenheid se elite-speurspan tas behoorlik in die duister rond. Het hulle dié keer hulle meerdere teëgekom?
