From England to India

The project began with Royal Enfield motorbikes; a myth built in Redditch, England. Partially built in India since the fifties, Royal Enfield became 100% Indian-owned in 1995.

England… India… England…both countries had to get reunited in a single trip. The machine “made like a gun", which could go "like a bullet” is going to make in one shot the trip it made over the twentieth century!

Here is how the “From England to India Project” was born. This is the story I would like you to help me write. A story which covers 9270km, cross 12 countries and last around 3 and a half months.

Beyond the exploration of human nature or even the physical challenge, a huge organisation has now been set up.

This won’t work without professional and financial help, which will be the salient keys to the road to India. There are already a nice bunch of people and professionals from the bike, adventure and lifestyle worlds who have decided to join in.

A few dailies as well as magazines have confirmed their interest. Some more will come in. As for publishing companies and TVs, talks are in process...

After a few years writing about the Luxury, Travel and Design Industry and extensive travels throughout the world for worldwide magazines, I like to consider myself as a “Lifestyle – as in Life meets Style - Sleuth”, eager to find new approaches and perspectives to life and culture(s).

Always on the run, I enjoy nothing better than a last minute call for a flight to the other side of the planet, thriving on the idea of dusty long roads and unpredictable transport connections.

Still, when dusk comes, I love the reading of art&travel books or nineteenth century European literature, watching old classics and contemporary arty productions, which do wonders on my restless diurnal activities. After ten years spent in London, I now live in Paris.
