About SMOG
SMOG is a community of motorcycle enthusiasts brought together by a shared passion for riding and a commitment to unity, respect, and making a positive impact. Focused on camaraderie, responsible riding, and charitable initiatives, SMOG fosters meaningful connections and supports its members and broader communities.
Based in Benoni, Gauteng, SMOG was established in 2014 and has grown into one of the most welcoming riding communities in South Africa. We're not about exclusivity — we're about the love of the road and the friendships forged on it.
From sunrise breakfast runs and group rides to small towns, to dealer days and overnight social stops, SMOG is where riders come together. All bikes, all riders, one shared passion.

Our Colours
Wearing the SMOG Colours
The SMOG colours are more than a logo — they're a symbol of belonging. Worn with pride on every ride, they represent our shared values of unity, passion, and respect for the road.
Established in 2014, the SMOG colours have become a recognised emblem in the Gauteng riding community. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to the game, the colours stand for one thing: a love of riding.
