Dr Tigger Returns From His Travels With Many A Story To Tell!

Bike on WaterWhat would you do if you found yourself lost at a near un-ride-able mountain pass lying on the track, unable to breathe, with broken ribs and a pool of leaking petrol trickling towards you? Or what it feels like to be knocked off your motorcycle on the most dangerous road in the world, only to land over the edge of a 400 meter precipice?
Sawtry based Dr Chris ‘Tigger' Targett knows exactly how the above feels, having just returned from his 20,000 mile solo and unsupported motorcycle adventure around South America for Magpas, on his trusty motorcycle Sir Humphrey Bikelby!
The intrepid, two wheeled explorer was interviewed by the local press at the Magpas office as soon as he got back last week, with his now fiancée Sam Lyon (who was saved by Magpas when she was a little girl). Tigger has had many adventures - too many to mention on one page! But in a nut shell (please see below):
