so I'm doing this on the stolen crashed recovered bandit I've bought. it's over a 1000 miles in a day no motorways on a £300 purchase . bandit was 370 so I'm cheating already. getting to start doing ride and getting home will be about 2500 miles in 3 days I lost my mum to cancer and so far 3 friends . if you can donate anything that would be great .
That's awesome man. I lost a really great friend to cancer in February - easily the wisest man I've ever known and a rock to me when I journeyed through the long dark night of the soul in helping me to understand the causes, effects, and necessities of such a journey to the underworld - and since I wasn't able to travel to pay my respects due to his wife keeping everything on the DL cause COVID this feels like a great way to do so. Just donated five and a score of shiny nuggets to the cause. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that the bike serves you well, that you have a blast and loads of fun and good weather, and that you get enough donors to match your target my brother!!
