Just to bring this to the attention of the Tigger community.

I'm already booked in with 5 others. It would be good to see more Tigers there to break up the throngs of BMWs and KTMs that are bound to be over represented.
Sort of like a mini (and harder) Round Britain Rally. Looks like fun...
Thats sounds great! I'll like to squeeze that one in if pos. :icon_biggrin:

Yeah, we don't really know what he has planned. To us it just sounded like the Welsh National rally sort of thing. Like "get a dot on a map, go there find the answer to a clue".
You can bet your bottom dollar it will end in a bust up as anything he runs does!!! Because folks who are used to doing any kind of travelling have their own ideas and over the years there have been some mighty set too's normally a lot further from home than what this will be the very best of luck.

Bit of a negative view. What do you base that on?
It a treasure hunt thing. That's all. We're not going to be riding for 60000 miles and 3 months.
Although, I have never met him so you could be right. The only round the world "traveller" I have met is Austin Vince and he turned out to be so far up his own arse that he must be best mates with Bono.
Met Nick years ago at an event organised by Balderstons in Peterborough, who were joint BMW and Triumph dealers at the time (imagine that now :ImaPoser); must have been 18 years ago as I was still with the Mk1 Mrs W.
He was easy to talk to but "wired"; he looked and sounded like he was on speed. But then again, he'd just taken the round the world on a Triumph record.
I met him having fish and chips in Stow, only reason I knew it was him was his Daytona, the red one he had for his first record attempt was parked by the side of the chippy. Covered in stickers and rather grubby, looked well ridden which I suppose at that time it was.
