Roy Whitworth has travelled over 63,000 kilometres!
A motorsport fan from South Africa has made it to the Isle of Man for TT after riding 63,000 kilometres over the last 16 months.
Roy Whitworth left Cape Town in June 2022 to ride to Egypt.
Along the way he also decided to take in Israel, Iraq, the Balkans and Germany – where he left his bike over the winter.
Last month he got back onboard so he could experience the motorcycling festival first-hand:
