Lands End to John o’Groats has forever been one of the ultimate tests for motorcycle adventure riders in the UK, and Visordown decided that a 874 mile traversal would be the best way to try out two Triumph Tiger 900 motorcycles - the Rally Pro & GT Pro.
Typically the route is a 874 mile tour end-to-end, and would take the average rider around a full day of non-stop riding (if you are mad enough). We had 3 days planned out for our route, and with detours to see Victoria Pendleton in Bournemouth and George North at Baffle Haus in Wales, our route was looking a bit more unconventional.
In our #VisordownLEJoG tour, as we called our expedition, Episode 1 gets the wheels rolling and sets the scene for the Tigers. With 5 episodes planned over the 3 days of riding along that unconventional route, we really got to know the Tigers well.
The highlight of Episode 1 is (of course) our interview with Victoria Pendleton, who is an ambassador of the Triumph brand. We spoke all things two wheels, the Olympics and her new found love of picking & packing at the ThruDark warehouse!
Day 1 come to a close as we park up at the Benett Arms in Semley after over 300 miles of riding (had to get to Lands End first!), enjoy a refreshing drink and briefly cover the manic first day of riding.
There are some fantastic roads to enjoy coming out of Lands End towards Bournemouth - and luckily the weather was holding out!
You’ll have to watch the first episode, and let us know what you think on social media. Enjoy!
