Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2010 5:16 pm
A very very good friend of mine Carole, was asked by a friend of hers to join him on his epic 4000 mile round trip right round the whole of the UK coastline on a 125 each for the Midlands Air Ambulance. The finished their journey last Wednesday after 14 days on the road and every place they stayed, someone put them up for the night, ourselves included, to do our bit. this saved them forking out on digs etc as the whole trip was funded by themselves. They even had extra fuel tanks put on the bikes to enable them to go that bit further between stops and not one day of rain did encounter the lucky buggers. I just thought I'd give them a real big hand 
and post their link etc. They had 1 puncture, dennis had his boots fall apart from the heat, the ran off with Daves sat nav next day thinking it was theirs lol and I'm sure when we get to see her in August for a weekends riding around the Midlands and North/Mid Wales etc, we'll get to hear all about it..To think I thought I was hard done by after riding 400miles home on Thrsday! 
I know some of you guys on here have charity runs
, which,if I'm honest, I know little about as I didn't see many postings on them, but please do let us know if you are doing any more etc. A worthy cause whatever it is and I'm sure there are some very grateful folk at the end of it
