Theres a Britain out there that you never knew existed. A Britain of back roads and byways. A Britain a 1953 motorcyclist would still recognise.

A Britain where real ale is still served from micro breweries to accompany real food that has'nt seen a sell by date or a roll of cling film.

A Britain where the Gaffers from the old Triumph motorcycle factory would feel at home in.

What they would'nt recognise is the new generation of Triumph motorcycle . Up from 12 to over 100 bhp yet still capable of following the meandering lanes of the Kingdom.

And so this journey will be recreated for the benefit of a worthy charity.

Please feel free to donate to Cancer Research

The Man


Nigel C Winter is a practicing lawyer by day ( and too many nights ) and a lifelong motorcyclist. Included in his areas of practice is personal injury litigation, sometimes involving motorcyclists.

He also appreciates a life that some people are cruelly deprived off hence his choice of charity for the 2007 gallop: Cancer Research.

He is absolutely not a racer, but enjoys motorcycles for seeing as much of this world as as possible in an ecologically conscious way.

Motorcycles appeal to many non motorcyclists who are put off by the incorrect perception of a broken bones and brake horse power culture. Motorcycling is a broad church. It offers absolute freedom like no other medium. Nigel hopes to raise money for an excellent cause and increase peoples interest in the “open road”.
