Motorcycle Diaries

For many this would be THE biking trip of a lifetime, but for Juergen Altmann, better known as Champy to his friends and family, and Jean Nerva, riding Royal Enfields is the only way to access some of the most remote villages on earth. Champy and Jean are travelling through the high mountain region of Ladakh in northern India to distribute much needed sunglasses to the local population. In the Himalayas the UV is incredibly strong which can cause cataracts and ultimately blindness, so a pair of shades is life changing! All of the sunglasses being handed-out by Jean and Champy are donated by the public and by brands. You can find-out more about the charity Shades of Love at www.shadesoflove.org. Below are some awesome photos from their journey so far.
