"We are Dan and Linz. We are trundling around the globe on motorbikes with a tent. The big plan is to go around the world, from East to West, over the course of 3 years..." We each have a Suzuki DRZ400S, certainly not the most popular choice for a long distance biker, but that’s something that appeals to us. Linz is a mere 5′ 3″, weak as a baby and stubborn, so the bike choice was limited!
"I was listening to other bikers talking about their aches and pains, their dodgy shoulders, knees, bad backs, how camping always made them stiff and achey and I kept thinking quietly to myself 'yoga would help that'." More on why yoga is a good thing for riding! Grant says: Tori's first session was at HU Meeting UK, and is already a regular fixture there!
