In 2009 an anonymous donation provided the unexpected arrival of a 1994 BMW R1100RS motorcycle.
This donation added a new chapter to CfC's work & support. Providing wider access to Organisations across the UK and as far as Eastern Europe.
Facilitating initial contact with Charities, Schools, Orphanages, etc. That bike covered 100,000 miles prior to its demise
The old bike called Brian, travelled the length and breadth of the UK and across Europe. Including Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, France, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland and more.......
Support from Motorrad UK & Chandlers BMW Brighton have provided invaluable support.
They Say Lightning doesn't strike twice! .....
- Thursday 15th November 2018 remains a memorable day in Brighton, an accident by a 4 x 4 pulling out of a side turning making Brian a write off.
It seemed that was that and the end of a chapter. Given the insurance offer of £1000!
Remarkably without any publicity of this fact. A second anonymous donor came forward and provided a fully kitted out BMW R1200RT motorcycle as above
- Then March 29th March 2019 strike two. Knocked off on a dual carriageway, when a driver instantly decidied to change lanes. Once again in the Brighton area and the second write off!.
Thanks to Group 1 BMW & Markerstudy Insurance. The bike returned onto the road in September 2019. Then 6000 miles covered, visiting projects throughout Europe and all is well!
Ongoing support is welcomed: Financial to cover costs, Services, Skills or Equipment to aid varying projects & support within the UK and Overseas.
