Hi

I’m a 37 year old male living in the quiet village of Mynydd y Garreg, with my wife Anouska and our 17 month old baby Thomas Owain Baxter

My reason for undertaking this journey is to raise money and awareness for the charity Motor Neurone Disease after the sad loss of my mother to this cruel disease at the young age of 52, I have always had an interest in motorbikes and travel and have raced motocross from a very young age, then progressed onto the road bikes and then back to Enduro’s, and thought it would be a challenging yet rewarding way of raising money by circumnavigating the British Coast on Honda C90 stepthrough’s

The idea of using Honda 90’s has come from a couple of mates who have travelled some ridiculous distances on these fantastic bikes, slowly but yes some ridiculous distances and I though that they would be ideal, to make the journey fun yet more difficult whilst generating more interest in the trip. Barrie my work colleague and friend initially wanted to use his 900cc  Kawasaki Ninja but Ive finally got him round to my way of thinking  ha Ha !!!
