    He's not a member but amazing friend. Phil from Nailsea. A very nice chap and good friend has just come 43rd and won a gold star in the Iron Butt Rally 2011

    IBA - World's Toughest Motorcycle Riders

    Been talking to Phil for over 6 months about his preparation for this rally.

    Only 100 invited and just amazed he's finished. looking at min 18 hours a day riding.
