Nick Sanders It has more than half a life in this to travel the world on a motorcycle. The well -year -old British actor and adventurer is known, among other biker feats, for going around the world in a Bullet 500 in 192. In 1997 he did the same at the controls of a Triumph Daytona, managing to beat a record of time: he only needed 31 days and 20 hours to travel 32,070 km.
Already in 2005, piloting a Yamaha R1, he repeated this same feat of circumnavigation to the earth, carrying it in just 19 days and 4 hours. In his credit is also reaching Tierra del Fuego, from Alaska, in less than 50 days. Finally, before knowing this new adventure, in 2022 Nick Sanders opted for a Yamaha Ténéré 700 to try again to go around the world.
The “European Walk” of Nick Sanders in Royal Enfield Bear 650
In April of this year we already talked about how Sanders had embarked, once again, in one of those adventures he likes so much. On this occasion the challenge was to tour the European confines in a Royal Enfield Bear 650, after his recent collaboration agreement with the inbritanic firm.
At the beginning of his trip he commented: “I feel that I have returned to the beginning. The reason I chose Enfield from the beginning was because the motorcycle had a lot of personality, it was relatively easy to understand and had that air of the 50s. But now, after returning, I am completely hallucinated with the transformation of the brand.”
“I decided to return to Royal Enfield and that was very important to me. I looked and did not want a Japanese brand, I wanted something very different. Some adventure motorcycles that cost between 25,000 and 30,000 pounds are almost cars now; they are huge. This is to return to the essential and the foundations of motorcycling, and that is what attracts me.”
Now, after several months of journey through the confines of Europe, and after having traveled approximately 30,000 kilometers, Sanders has once again interviewed by MCN’s companions. These have told them that “I wanted to find the longest route through Europe and, basically, I found it. I changed Yamaha to Enfield because I wanted to return to the basics. The Bear was superfiable and robust, something essential for an adventure motorcycle”.
This trip, in the opposite direction to the clock needles, began in the United Kingdom. From there he traveled to northern Nordkapp in Norway, to subsequently directed direction to Eastern Europe, bordering the border of Ukraine. “At this point, I have traveled more than anyone in the world. I like that position; it makes me feel that I have triumphed in something” Sanders added.
Concludes explaining: “I guess I want to be the best in something. I want to be part of that group. No one knows if I have already achieved it; it is a job. From now on, I will continue writing in the blog, incorporating tips into entertainment: the soft philosophy of how to enjoy a good motorcycle adventure.”
