Crazy ride attempt by newbie for the Curry Aid Charity.
Crazy ride attempt by newbie for the Curry Aid Charity.
After being inspired by talking to Paul at the boil and seeing the pics I have come up with the following plan. I would like to get people to sponsor me to ride to the Ullapool rally on a Suzuki Vanvan from my home in Chesterfield, a total of 521miles through the lakes etc. I plan to do this is one day while carrying tent etc. i am not looking for a massive amount but if each attendee were to pledge £1 each that would be enough for me to do it. I have spoken to Paul about it and he was Ok with the idea.

Re: worth doing or just plain crazy?
Do it, I'll chip in a quid no problem. I bet you actually enjoy it.....a long day though !
Re: worth doing or just plain crazy?
couriers do more on 125s in a day. just as long as you prepare, and keep steady paste, you can do even more.
now with a changed topic, my quid is ready

Re: worth doing or just plain crazy?
Maybe I've missed something, but why should anyone give you any money to go to a meeting? :unsure:
Re: worth doing or just plain crazy?
Nothing missed Dude - just an excuse to give a quid for orphans in India. It is the small but very much needed charity that Paul and Maria (Our ABR Boil Rally hosts) help with.
I've got a quid with your name on and thanks for helping out - I hope you take Applecross on your VanVan and have a whale of a time!
If anyone else wants to sit a tub of beans or anything for the charity I'm sure the kids would be very grateful.

Re: worth doing or just plain crazy?
You're not giving me money for going to the rally, I was going anyway but on my DL1000. The idea of the Vanvan is to make it more of a challenge and it is something I really don't relish the idea of. I have been commuting on it recently and after the 40ish miles to work I am ready to get off so 521 will be a personal challenge in a day.Dr. Dung Beetle wrote:Maybe I've missed something, but why should anyone give you any money to go to a meeting? :unsure:
Aside from that I have travelled in India and know how much of a difference even £1 can make to some people so anything I can do to help I feel is worthwhile. If you don't want to sponsor me no problem each to their own and I would still take a wee dram with you while at the rally.

Re: worth doing or just plain crazy?
What Dubber isn't telling you is that he's put the DL 1000 engine in the Van Van

Good on ya.

Dubber, you have my quid and my respect! I rode the missus Vanvan and a great looking bike but what a slug!
I'll be at the Ullapool and if you fancy doing Applecross I'll give you a tow! :whistle:
