If you do not know the man, he is from Manchester UK and is riding the world AND racing on his bike Basil! and not just any bike....
He finished the Dakar 2013 and did it in style, 46th overall in the bike category and in Stage 8 was and 9th across the line for the bikes!

Ever wondered what the road books, the compass, the riders ability to navigate AND is all about?
Here is a good indication of what you have to concentrate on when riding at close to 165 Kph in a competition!

He is one highly motivated individual and a helluva rider. Some of his Rallye vids from the UK are eye watering.
Is he just touring around or doing something competitive?

I think he is just visiting and riding. I also know he is meeting up with Chris Birch at some point, so they might have something extreme planned....

I'm hoping he's gonna put on one of his fund raising chat evenings some place close to the Bay, will be well worth a trip to hear 1st hand about his adventures....he's another Guy Martin, a motorcycling legend.

Very appreciative of Lyndon speaking at the Otago Motorcycle Club last night. Big thanks to Trev F for steering him in this direction and setting it up. A very comprehensive, polished and interesting presentation. Wishing him well in the next phase including another tilt at the Dakar.

Glad you got something out of it! Nice feedback

I see Basil has hit 100K in New Zealand, so that's cool...
