News in brief

Nick Sanders will be presenting his life and adventures at 15 Yamaha dealers around the country over the next month.

Focusing on his latest trip, the Incredible Ride, where Nick rode his Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré 51,000 miles up and down the Americas three times – the last two laps in 46 days – it is an evening where visitors can immerse themselves in the mind-set of an adventurer who can ride 1000 miles in one day.

Tickets are free (but limited at each event) and everyone who attends gets a free DVD from Nick. To reserve a place contact one of the dealers from the list below or email Nick at [email protected].
