Just came across this story, and thought I should share:

[size=85:3uesa4q8]From this weeks Motorcycle News

Vince Jaques is riding a 200cc Honda Benly which he has just restored from Teesside to Bulgaria for the charities Zoe's Place in Middlesbrough and Priateli in Bulgaria.

Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice provides respite and palliative care for babies and children from birth to 5 years old who have life limiting or life threatening conditions.

I passed my bike test on a similar machine about 30 years ago ... I'm surprised it got there. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
