LONDON TO MOSCOW ON V-STROM1000 – UPDATE
Jul 2007
Since leaving Trafalgar Square last Saturday, the BEN charity riders have moved through no less than five countries to date (Wednesday PM) on their V-Strom 1000.With their Acutrac Tracker system now live, the three riders have been tracked across Europe, moving into Poland on Tuesday afternoon and into Lithuania this afternoon.
Talking via cell phone in Lithuania, trip coordinator John Sirett, commented, “It’s been a fabulous experience so far. We’ve travelled through several countries and seen some incredible scenery. The V-Strom has performed exactly as we expected, munching miles with ease and without any mechanical support whatsoever. We’re looking forward to moving into Russia in the next few days, and tackling the challenging road surfaces and traffic as we get towards Moscow”.
The team of three expect to arrive at the Red Square in Moscow on Saturday 21st July, completing their epic ride for the BEN charity.
Suzuki GB wish the team the best of luck in the coming days.
