Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, June 19th, 2008 15 Norman’s miles of hope


A LIFETIME’S expe­ rience of motorcycling


, has set Clitheroe rider Norman Burgess in good store for a 7,000- mile charity trip to the . Ukraine. . Norman, of, Kemple View, has been riding and


• racing motorcycles for as long as he can remember. .....He is a former winner of the Isle'of Man TT sidecar race and the British Sidecar Champi-


• onship, later commentat- ' ing on the championship -


' for three years for satel-, lite , TV ‘ channel: Eurosport. . But he has never set


out on such a big trip as the one he started on Sat­ urday - or ridden such a big bike! Norman (60) is part of


a 20-strong pack of bik­ ers tackling the now- annual “Kids in Kiev”


•ride for.international charity UNICEF. Over the past six years


it has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to support children emo­ tionally and physically damaged by the effects of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. -■


! Most of the bikers are from South Yorkshire,' where the charity ride originated, but one of


them is Norman’s son, also called Norman, a 39- ye'ar-old solicitor from ■ Richmond, North-York- shire.


■/One of the event’s sponsors is Silkolene, the motorsports lubricants company, and that is how Norman Snr got involved. < • He is sales manager for


Fuchs Lubricants, a Ger­ man-based company which oivns the Silkolene brand and distributes its products.


V ' Despite specifying the optional lowered saddle


'and wearing his thickest-' soled boots,” Norman admits the sheer size and weight of the : BM'W


, causes him something of a problem when it’s at a .. standstill. But as soon as


. he gets it moving, he - leaves all his problems behind.

president Miss Hilda Emsden wel­ comed everyone and introduced speaker


i Mrs Alison Chester, who gave a talk on “Hearing Dogs for Deaf People” .


Mrs Chester said she has been deaf since she was eight-years- old, but did not realise until she was in her 30s. Her teachers at school told her she was thick and stupid. When she started her nursing career it was discovered she was profoundly deaf which led to her having a hearing dog called Dodger, a


• cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle.


She has been giving talks around the country for four years, raising funds as each dog costs aout £5,000 to train and support. Mrs Pam ■ Entwistle thanked- Mrs Chester for an excel­ lent and entertain­ ing talk.

® : A talk entitled “Don't do damage” was given by PC Justin Brown - to pupils in ; Year Six. He sug­ gested that this be; discussed at home to reinforce the mes-; sage.'-'


; As one o f the major supporters, the company decided it was about time it had somone on the epic ride and Norman, with , motorcycling in his blood, was the obvious choice. Norman swallowed


hard when he learned what he would be riding. He is the perfect build for a sidecar racer - stocky, strong and compact! But for the “Kids in Kiev” , ride he will pilot a BM'W 1200GS Adventure, one of the biggest and most rugged trail bikes around.


• Boorman on their epic • : “Long Way Round” and • “Long Way Down” trips, both serialised for TV. Setting out on Satur-.


day, the riders were head­ ing first to Hull for the ferry to Rotterdam, then through the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary and into the Ukraine. After three days’ rest


in Kiev they will head back through Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Italy and France to, hopefully, arrive back in the UK on June 29th. Each of the riders rais­


es sponsorship and Nor­ man has raised more than £3,500.


. Norman said: “ I ’ve


ridden bikes all my life and I own various classic machines, but I’ve never done a trip this big.” He is also confident of


finishing the trek: “ I ’ve ridden the bike from Clitheroe to Edinburgh and around Scotland. : “ It is a dream to ride-


the perfect bike for the job.” ' ' If you fancy a taste of


Norman’s adventure you can have it - by winning his motorbike. After the trip, the spe-


cially-liveried machine, with a host of added extras which take its total value to around £16,000, vrill be the prize in a competition run by Fuchs Lubricants. You can fill out an


entry form at the compa­ ny’s website (www.fuch- slubricants.com) where you can also keep tabs on Norman’s progress. Our picture shows

TEACHERS will be donning boots and wellies today as they visit an award- mnning Ribble Valley dairy farm. The 20 careers teachers from around


the North-West will meet Waddington farmers Ian and Sally Macalpine, who have won the Gold Cup, the UK’s most prestigious award made to dairy farm­ ers. The couple, who farm a 220 herd of


Jersey cattle, were presented with the award by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers for their techni­ cal efficiency combined with their mar­ ket awareness. The visitors have been invited by


RABDF to find out more about farm­ ing as part of the curriculum’s function­ al skills requirement, along with careers opportunities in agriculture.
