At sunrise on the 21st of June 2014 a group of hugely unfit, ill-disciplined and foolish bikers will set off from John O'Groats with the intention of seeing the sunrise 24 hours later over Lands End.

The snag is we will attempt the 906 mile route, avoiding motorways, on a motley selection of steeds, all of which had been bought and made road legal for no more than £300...

In the motorcycling world £300 doesn't get you a lot. Think "part finished project". Think "hasn't run for 6 years". The kind of motorbike that is held together by rust, mould and optimism. The type of motorbike that gets overtaken by everything and everyone on the road........and pavement.

So to make the 900 miles in 24 hrs means desperate individuals nursing their rag-tag herd of ailing machines through the night, driven on only by Ginster's pasties and a steely determination not to fail.
