Day 7 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 Surrey, the worst county in England, we returned to recieving the kindness of strangers.
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.

You have set the bar so high that everyone should do a 50cc 1000 mile challenge, you should post your route so that the rest of us nutters can stop at all the great places (except Guildford), to say hi, thank you, buy a pint and take a selfie. I have a few motorbikes but I find the 250cc scooter makes me smile the most because it is what it is. Well done boys, give yourselves a pat on your back, you’ve really earned it.

[@Nobby77]

Cheers, I'll put the route gpx on the FB page. But the beauty of these little bikes is any trip over 100 miles is an adventure lol

[@TonyNelsonCamping]

Chaps, well done with making your way out of "Twatville Central"😅 James Holland and the chaps from Harley-Davidson, you guys were champion human beings for helping the boys out. People should donate stacks of money to the cause and then some because these blokes are going to need a spa treatment after what they have gone through during this time. Salute! 🎉

[@Nobby77]

Cheers Tony, spa can wait until I have my new knees fitted

Ryan from Harley Maidstone here! unfortunate that crack developed further into a failure and not much further up the road either! Great to see you got it replaced locally. Boxley is no joke either! fair play to getting up that!

[@Nobby77]

How do dude, pedal was on borrowed time mate. Really appreciate you helping out. Boxley hill is the devil.

[@dwaynestewart6095]

I live in Surrey but my whole family live in the west country and I concur, the folk in the west are way friendlier than your average Surrey bellend. As an avid adventure biker both big and small bikes I would have helped you guys out!

[@BourneOutside]

Top man is James Holland. Not like the plebs in Surrey 😁 You pushed Wendy up Boxley hill 😮 Mate, my total utter respect. I tried cycling up it years back and couldn’t do it. Could hardly walk it either 🤣 #brianharveyrunhimselfover AND #burtonoutdoorsisatwat 🤣🤣🤣 I see what it was now. My mum said there was all grey anal lube on the patio slabs but I got you out of hot water and told her it was JB Weld. She was so much happier with that 🤣 Good video Lee 😉👍🏼 #combatstressuk

Your mum was right. Thanks again Timmy and please send my regards to Pam, a truly lovely lady

[@leslieaustin151]

Lee, if you pedalled and pushed that bike up Boxley Hill you’re more than a leg-end! I’ve cycled and motorcycled up and down it many times, and it’s bloomin’ steep. Now I live in the North East of England, but still remember Paul Smart (famous racer) and his mate (Jonny Button?) riding their 650s up that hill scraping their hobnailed boots in the road to make a firework display! Were you camping in Walderslade on that patio? Looked a bit like it. Watching your suffering, but enjoying it! I couldn’t do it, but I’ll be out on my old 225cc tomorrow. Get the 125 out next time mate, that Arial is crap and always was! Silly design. Les

[@Nobby77]

Yes mate Boxley hill was the devil. I knew it was there as well as I lived in walderslade. I did a lap of the UK on a 125 and it was awesome. Already got ideas for next year
