Charity – Stroke Association and SANDS
Amount Raised – £8000
It all started with converting a 1985 Kawasaki KH125 commuter bike into a Classic Cafe Racer, during the build process the guys decided to get another one and do something with them. This evolved into the Cafe Racer Challenge which was to ride around the entire coast of the UK on the bikes. Lee had completed the challenge in 2010 on a bigger bike. After buying 5 bikes and making 3 working models they set out with a support crew for the two week journey around the coastline, camping all the way round as well to reduce costs. They went through hot sunny weather, cold, wet and windy weather and everything between but made it back to Lymington with the bikes still running and in one piece! They raised funds for The Stroke Association and SANDS charities and received an award from The Stroke Association for the work they did, all in all they raised over £8,000 between the two charities.
