Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I`m doing this ride in memory of Adam Newstead, he was the  manager of Tinklers Motorcycles. He was my friend for nearly 40 years, he was a gentleman and would help anyone. His favourite charity was the Air Ambulance, so all money raised will go to that charity. I was intending to do this alone, but if anyone would like to join me then feel free to do so. Please join me at Costa Coffee in Broadland Business Park about 9-15 to 9-30 The only thing I would ask is if you do join me on the day, is to pay a minimum of £2 fee/charity donation. It would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Also, please ride within the law at all times, have fun and enjoy the ride but be safe!
I will be starting from Tinklers at 9am on Sat the 25 sept. the whole trip is about 200+ miles from start to finish. All the people that donate to the ride will have a number beside their name when signing the sponsor/donation form. I have 10 fantastic prizes to give to the lucky people who gets drawn from the online random number generator. 

Thanks to these shops/people for supporting the Air Ambulance and donating the prizes.

C.J. Ball Motorcycles Norwich  /  Dave Barkshire KTM Motorcycles Rackheath   /  Route 11 Cafe & Motorcycles   /  Infinity Motorcycles Norwich  /  B.M.W. Motorcycles  Norwich  /  Harley Davidson Motorcycles Norwich / Seastar Motorcycles Newton Flotman   /  and the Norfolk Leather Centre Great Yarmouth. 

The route will be as follows, Tinklers for me at 9am. Then for anyone who wants to join me, meet at 9-15 to 9-30 at Costa Coffee Broadland Business Park. Then we are off on our journey, C.J. Ball Motorcycles, Dave Barkshire /KTM. Motorcycles, Cromer Blue Sky cafe on the promenade, Kings Lynn Speedway Track, Newmarket Races, Route 11, Seastar Superbikes Newton Flotman, Great Yarmouth Marine Parade, Infinity Motorcycle Accessories, B.M.W. Motorcycles, Harley Davison Motorcycles and finally back To Tinklers to finish. I think that's about 220 miles give or take.

Everyone will need to fill up on route, we can stop wherever and whenever suits us and it`s safe to do so. We will also have a break at  some point of the ride, that will come on route where it is also safe to do so. I will be doing a dry run on Wednesday in my car, I will check out petrol stops and cafes for our breaks.


I will also be collecting donations on these nights in September. Mondays at Route 11 / Tuesdays at The Ox and Plough pub in Old Buckenham 'Two Wheel Tuesdays / Thursdays at the Grange in Caistor / Fridays at Whitwell Train Station / Saturdays at Beccles Mac Donalds and Sundays at Yarmouth on the Golden Mile. Hope to see many bikers/people donate to a fantastic charity the East Anglian Air Ambulance in memory of Adam Newstead who died suddenly on the 29/05/2020 He is sadly missed by his family and me and by many people who knew him. 

R.I.P. Adam, thank you for everything you did for me, I will never forget you.
