Here is an appeal by one of Sideways' great friends Mark

In September and October 2008 I am embarking on an adventure ride down through Spain, into Morocco via the High Atlas Mountains and the Western Sahara Desert and I’ve decided to do the trip for CICRA, Crohn’s in Childhood Research Association.

My wife, Trudi, sadly passed away from Crohn’s Disease in August 2004 at the age of 37 after being first diagnosed with the disease at the age of 12 which makes the trip even more personal for me.

Crohn’s Disease is characterised by inflammation of one or more areas of the digestive tract, with normal areas of gut between, and can occur   anywhere from the mouth to the anus but most commonly in the large and small intestine. This inflammation may lead to ulceration, abcesses and strictures in the bowel. Additionally, Oral Crohn’s affecting the mouth and lips is being seen frequently in children. There may also be inflammation of the joints, skin and eyes.

This condition is chronic, long lasting and very debilitating. Inflammatory Bowel Disease can appear at any time and does not discriminate. It can affect young or old, male or female, rich or poor and any race, colour or creed.
At present there is no known cause or cure. To find out more about the trip or the charity please have a look at my website. Thank you for your help. www.justgiving.com/markninnim

Hi Chris
Just to let you know I arrived back in Plymouth OK around 6:00pm - the bike went well, in fact I was enjoying the ride home so much I decided to take the Lyme Regis to Exeter route, then across Dartmoor to Ply - the Duke seems to be the perfect match for these types of road, its so agile and responsive, I'm now looking forward to another blast this weekend.

Thanks once again for all your help and professional courtesies.

Very best regards

Peter Dempster

The KTM 1190 RC8 Superbike voted the bike of the show and star of the International Motorcycle & Scooter Show. The price is now confirmed at £10,695.00.

The KTM 1190 RC8 Superbike was unveiled at the EICMA show, Milan on Tuesday 6th November.

The bike was first unveiled to the British public at the International Motorcycle & Scooter Show NEC.

At the very heart of the 1190 RC8 is the completely newly developed super sporty two-cylinder based on the well known LC8 range of engines, which, with a top performance of 155 hp and a maximum amount of torque of 120 Nm delivers an overwhelming amount of power to the rider. A unique light tubular steel frame, highest quality suspension and brake components and unusual technical solutions such as the exhaust positioned under the bike complete the 1190 RC8, which weighs just 200kg with a full tank. The result is a Superbike that truly lives up to its name in every sense of the word.
