    Can't believe I haven't seen him since the Scotland tour....15 months ago.... But today he arrived on home soil (well not his ;) )..... those that don't know, since he waved us goodbye, Brucie has rode his gixxa ROUND THE WORLD!!

    You honestly can't begin to understand the commitment and sacrifice he has made to make his dream become reality.... Whilst trying to raise money for charity.....And despite the doubters (I had the odd moment as he will tell ya) well he has only bloody gone and done it!!

    Gutted I didn't get to go and meet him today for his ride back.... However Dave v represented the Kent massive!! Top effort dude....

    But managed to meet him in town for a quick raise of the glass ;)

    Proper proud of ya man!! Can't tell ya how amazing it is what you've achieved.... And glad to have you home!! Bring on the rides ;)

    Well done and hats off to ya big man!!!

    RESPECT!

    97 thousand miles and sounded sweet as a nut.....

    As Jimbo says I was lucky enough to be able to welcome the big man home.

    What a truly incredible achievement, feel privileged to be able to call Bruce my friend.

    Well done mate, welcome home.

    Saw him at st George's campsite in the IOM along with his bike. Unfortunately never got chance to speak with him as he was updating something on his laptop. Great effort though and I bet he's glad to be back home.
