My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the TR3OC NVT Challenge 2012 JustGiving page.

Ride One :

 

The NVT Rambler on the Nordcapp to Gibraltar run will be leaving Nordcapp on Saturday 16 June 2012.  During the period 16 - 21 June, it will be making its way south through Norway, Finland and Sweden.

 

On the morning of  Friday 22 June it will arrive in the north of Denmark  and over the next three days will make it’s way to Spain at it’s northern border with France near to San Sebastian.

 

From there and over the following three days, the bike will make its way across Spain, arriving (hopefully) in Gibraltar some time on Wednesday 27 June 2012.

 

Ride Two :

 

On Thursday 21 June, the JOG-LE NVT Easy Rider will leave Blackpool Tower and over the next five days make its way to the Eiffel Tower, Paris, arriving there sometime on Monday 25 June.

Overnight Stays :

 

Although the overnight stops have not yet been finalized, on the night of Saturday 23 June, both bikes will be staying at the same overnight stop, somewhere in the Pas- de- Calais region of France.  This is only a short hop across the Channel and so it’s an ideal opportunity for other club members who are not actually riding the machines, to join in with the event and at the same time have a weekend away in France.

 

A little about the bikes :

 

The JOG-LE NVT Easy rider probably needs no introduction.  This is the 1970’s 50cc moped that earlier this year completed the Moped Madness Run.  The story of this ride can be found on the club website (www.tr3oc.co.uk) under “Features”

 

The 125cc NVT Rambler is a 1978 bike.  It has a top speed of 60mph, does 45mpg and has a 1.2 gallon petrol tank, giving a range of about 60 miles/100 kms.  It will be a long ride from Norway to Gibraltar !! 

 

Remember, the management of NVT back in the mid seventies felt that the T160 should be killed off and the future of the British bike industry be placed on the shoulders of these two “fine” machines …….  Now’s your chance for “pay back” by thrashing these bikes to within an inch of their lives J
