1000 Miles on 50cc Mopeds | Puch Maxi | BSA Ariel 3 | Motocamping | Motorcycle Camping

Final day of the Tiny Bike Tour 2 and it was gruelling. The state of the roads shook our bikes to bits A few rolling repairs we started to make some real ground.
After leaving Kent we headed through Brighton thennonto Portsmouth and finally back to the Isle of wight.
We were tarp camping in bad weather as well as riding in heavy rain which took it till on the bikes
We are doing a 1000 mile loop of the South Coast on 54 year old 2 stroke mopeds. Moped touring is a real challenge but definitely worth it as you get to absorb the views at 30 mph.
The bikes we chose for this adventure were a 1970 Puch Maxi and a 1970 BSA Ariel 3.
Motocamping at it's finest. Along the way we will be wild camping as much as possible as well as making the most of strangers hospitality.
This is all to raise some funds for Combat Stress which is a veterans mental health charity so please consider donating.

Matey pushing you with his Vespa reminded me of how I wrote my brand new 8 days old Vespa off! Full bore down a hill, a Cyclist pulled out from the right, I pretended to knock him off with my foot, misjudged it and rammed him up the arse with my foot... I went straight off the back, and the Cyclist went flying! Ambulances the lot 😮

You are an asbo waiting to happen

What a wonderful achievement by you both and bikes. Now a well earned rest , camp out and a few ales. Well done, working hard for a great cause. Cheers lads. 🇦🇺

[@Nobby77]

Cheers Dazza, proper enjoyed this one

[@iamthefatstig]

I think it's safe to say that Messrs Stirling and Mayne would have recruited you pair in a heartbeat. The old Tommy is never too far under the skin. Upbeat, tenacious, adaptable and mission accomplished. What a ride.

[@Nobby77]

Thanks mucker

[@faz5824]

You guys and your cause make me so proud to be British,👍👍

[@Nobby77]

Cheers Faz

[@truter5243]

You know. The first episode I doubted the bikes. But they've really surprised me. Great job. Made me reminisce now. Friend of mine bought a Taiwanese bike for a trip. We all teased that he'll end up riding backpack. Guy still has that bike. Over 80 000km on the clock. For a small 125cc bike with a way too large body, that impresses me (kymco Stryker). Come to think of it. That bike is now also about 20 years old already😮. Same way the bikes in this video impress me.

[@Nobby77]

I like to be surprised by what I'm riding.

Epic! Yup, you’re both legends. The bikes too, but I’d rather have the Puch than that Arial! Last week you told me you lived in Princes Ave. Believe it or not I went for a ride on Thursday and met another biker (even older than me!) in a cafe in Shropshire- and he also used to live in Princes Ave.. what are the chances..? Looking forward to the next adventure, but please, not on Wendy, eh? Les in Chester

[@RobertsBulgaria]

Lovely Jubbly Lads and to all that helped along the way minus those miserable Surrey folk (they can't all be bad can they). You're only happy when your ring piece is being shaken so violently that your sphincter needs holding in with cable ties. Might be time for you to consider an OSMO Action. I find my older GoPro's are fine as long as I format the SD card after each up load, but even so, I've completely lost audio at times with no reasoning for it.

[@Nobby77]

Was a top trip dude. GoPro are off the table for me now, next camera upgrade I get and it'll be the osmo. Surrey is full of 🔔 ends

[@oddmanout98]

[@gcunn1]

Fantastic job! It's interesting that, here in Spain, the word for "soldier" is "soldado", which also means "welded". I'll be donating. Is there also a campaign for the government to give more help, rather than relying on charity?

[@Nobby77]

You can't rely on the govt if they can't even organise someone to fill a pothole

[@LeloBoyle]

The new hairy bikers???😂

[@stefanm67]

Fantastic work boys. Simply wonderful effort for one of the most worth while charities going. Doing that ride on a new or big bike wouldn't be anywhere near as challenging as what you've both achieved. Epic stuff. 💪
