Well it had to happen one day. One of our club is setting off with the Mongol Rally 2008 in July on his CG125. 9-10k miles and all for charity.

Trip of a lifetime? Certaintly. Would I do it? Not a chance these days. Maybe 20yrs ago. Mad I tell you. But a good choice of steed if you're not in a hurry. JB
