What's the world record you're trying to break?
Who pays for the petrol?

If anyone wants to give me a bike (honda pan european please Honda), and fuel card. I'll do a 10,000 mile tour of 15 countries of europe over 3 weeks to raise money for something in the better end of the charity scale, like the dorset and isle of wight air ambulance.
I'll even camp and pay for the channel crossing myself. ____________________ Nobby the Bastard: How yo tell the difference between the actual japanese and her just screaming because she's had live fish stuck up her arse?

What is it then? It sounds like a nice holiday complete with the free use of a bike and someone else paying for your petrol.

Those are just a couple I found very quickly. It's been done many, many times before.
| Big Rab wrote: | tha logistics of organising this has taken us from last year to sort it out.. |
You have a few riders each with a start and finish point for the leg of the ride they're doing. That's not exactly the logistical nightmare you're trying to say it is.

By going on a free motorcycle jolly.
| Big Rab wrote: | It wiil be a challenge, have any of you tried to ride an Enfield before? not the comfiest or fastest bike in the world. |
The speed and comfort of the bike (or lack of) are the challenging parts of what you're doing?
| Big Rab wrote: | We were going to do this on a Honda 50, but the enfield guys stepped in. |
Using a Honda 50 would have not been challenging, using a free Enfield 500 with free petrol is even less challenging.
| Big Rab wrote: | I just dont understand so much negativity from people nowadays |
Presumably you've seen how other threads like this go and what the reaction is from BCF about people wanting sponsorship for going on a free jolly in the name of charidee? |

I rode an Enfield 350 bullet everywhere in Britain. For fun. Solo. I carried all my camping gear with me, and did not return home.
I visited 89 very specific locations based on a cryptic clue and planned my logistics on the fly each day using maps and route-cards.
Fun was had. Hardship and difficulty was not.
That was how I chose to spend my long (unpaid) vacation as a reward for working 10 years in the same job.
What you are proposing to do is not particularly hard so don't expect others to pay for your holiday. Meet the full cost of the expedition yourself. Collect money on the way because people WILL be interested in what you are doing and WILL donate to the cause but please don't squander their money on going for a ride with your mates.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
