Touratech Celebrate Biking Success as Riders Pour into the UK’s New Adventure Motorcycle Capital
The weekend of 27th and 28th September saw motorcyclists come from all over the UK to celebrate motorcycle overland touring at Touratech’s new base at Ystradgynlais in South Wales. Approximately 500 motorcycles and over 1000 people attended at Touratech’s new UK HQ and showroom, which is situated in what is fast becoming the adventure motorcycling capital of the UK. Over 200 of these visitors made best use of the change of weather and camped for the weekend.
Biking and travel celebrity Charley Boorman headlined the festivities by hosting a special unofficial ‘final’ stage of his ‘By Any Means’ adventure which saw police escorted riders following the Charley as he rode a Segway, BMW R1200GS Adventure, KTM 950 Adventure, BMW R1150GS, Yamaha XT660 Tenere and a Mini Moto bike around the town (By Any Means is currently being screened on BBC2). Charley stayed for the entire weekend to talk to visitors and he entertained a packed audience at the evening chat show. There was also a great reception for Dakar Rally riders Nick Plumb and Simon Pavey, who thrilled and inspired the audience with talks about their own adventures.
