CAROLINE

Caroline started her motorcycling journey in her thirties by commuting on a 125cc to and from work to getting her full licence and a bigger bike a couple of years later. A motorcycling accident in 2015, whilst riding pillion with her husband, saw her with a few broken bones and the sad death of her husband. Whilst this affected her riding at the beginning it never stopped her. With help, advanced training and sheer determination she was back to loving the riding as she did when she started. This eventually led her on a quest to ride her beloved Boo, a Triumph Tiger 800, around the world.
