Vintage to Voltage: London to Paris by 1926 Triumph Q and 2017 Zero DSR
A Trial on Trails between Two Cities. London to Paris by 92-year Triumph and the new Zero electric motorcycle, on green lanes, for three good causes:
- Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust provides an emergency service to patients who have suffered trauma or medical emergencies.
- DDMT, the Lt Dougie Dalzell MC Memorial Trust (Registered Charity Number 1140415) supports all active and retired servicemen and women and their families through a variety of grants and the provision of facilities, equipment and services for training and education.
- The Joan Seeley Trust The Joan Seeley Memorial Trust, based in Kent, provides pain relief and medical equipment for hospitals and hospices throughout the UK.
Frustratingly, I had to abandon the ride due to injuring my back whilst kick-starting my '26 Triumph while preparing for the ride.
Carla and the rest of the team sucessfully completed the ride, and you can read all about it on www.vintagetovoltage.wordpress.com
Despite my not being able to take part in the ride, I hope you can still support the charities. Meanwhile, I'm busy planning to do the vintage side of the trip, thanks, Julie.
