Andy’s only got a little one.

Charlie and Ewan have a lot to answer for.How many riders decided to get into adventure riding and went straight out and bought a big bike with chunky tyres and all the fruit? They then hit the road (often literally), had a huge moment very early on and sapped what little confidence they had and decided to sell the bike.

Luckily for this little black duck I’d stepped onto the dirty side well before those two well-supported ‘adventurer celebrity gents’ stepped off into the wide, errr…known. A Cagiva Elefant 750 was a big daunting bike for a ‘transitioner’, but I needed a road-mannered bike as well as one that was dirt capable.
