BOYS ON TOUR…
My name is Ben and I am from Portrush, Northern Ireland (NW200 regular!) and a pal and I are currently planning a European bike tour. Specifically, a tour to replicate the Allied advance through Europe (Ooo, good one! – FB). This plan is particularly pertinent to us, as we are both current and serving members of the Royal Marine Commandos (We read about your trip to St Nazaire with the Panigale and H2 and although we’d already begun planning, it definitely added inspiration!).
We both have plenty years of biking experience under our belts but neither of us have gone more than a long weekend away on two wheels. We have selected most of our destinations and know a timescale and budget we can realistically stick to. We are hoping to document the trip and potentially send it in to our forces magazine as well so may even get a chance at a bit of sponsorship – but neither of us are holding our breath!
