Royalty on Motorbikes is go

Back in February I commented on the news report that the 2 young male royals (are there any young female royals?) were going to do a Ewan & Charlie style expedition in Africa for charity.

Well, right now they are out there, doing it. I just think that it’s a shame that because of the media hype and their being royalty, that there is all sort of protection going on around them to make sure they come back alive. If you thought Russ Malkin and the crew that looked after Ewan & Charlie was a bit OTT then think again, that’s small fry compared to the size of the team following Harry & Wills. Rumour has it that there’s even a team with Exercet missiles following them about to blow away any threat from the air! Now how cool is that?

Despite everything that is happening to shield these 2 fine young (royal) men from the realities of the world around them I really do wish them well and hope that sometime in the future they might just turn up at a biker meet in the UK on their bikes, with all the gear, a damned great big smile and a story that starts -- “we lost the bodyguards soon after leaving the palace simply by tearing down the Edgeware Road while they sat in the traffic jam in the Range Rovers….”
