This inspi­ra­tional tour to raise aware­ness for Cheshire Homes and the Quad­Para Asso­ci­a­tion of South Africa

Join Dave Barr and his Rough Rid­ers for the adven­ture of a lifetime.

Leav­ing on the 15^th of April 2015 from the Ann Hard­ing Cheshire Home in Rand­burg, Dave Barr will tour on a Harley David­son 1200 Sport­ster around South Africa, Vis­it­ing Cheshire Home in Cape Town, PE, Dur­ban and Johan­nes­burg, and meet­ing more of the won­der­ful peo­ple of South Africa

The worlds most remark­able dis­abled man will be vis­it­ing your area soon.

Dave Barr, an Amer­i­can man who joined the SADF, lost his legs when his Jeep hit a land­line in Angola while Dave was the leg­endary Colonel Jan Breytenbach’s machine gun­ner. Dave recov­ered and after return­ing to com­bat duties on prosthesis’s, finally left the army and embarked on a life­long quest to help other dis­abled peo­ple come to terms with their disabilities.

Dave chose Cheshire Homes as his favoured char­ity as it had been started by another sol­dier, the VC win­ner Leonard Cheshire of WW2.

Dave took on the almost unbe­liev­able chal­lenge of cir­cum­nav­i­gat­ing the world , alone, on his Harley David­son motor­cy­cle. No-​one, never mind a dis­abled per­son, had ever done this before. In 1994, Dave com­pleted 132 000km and entered the Guin­ness Book of World Records for the first of three entries. After this stu­pen­dous feat, he also criss-​crossed Aus­tralia and crossed Siberia in win­ter , alone on his Harley. Dur­ing his jour­neys, Dave gave moti­va­tional talks to dis­abled peo­ple and raised money for the world-​wide Cheshire Homes organisation.

This year Dave returns again to South Africa, where it all started, and he asks your sup­port in his ride around the whole coun­try to help the dis­abled bik­ers and ex-​servicemen in South Africa.

Dave will give a soul stir­ring talk of his adven­tures and aims to inspire us all.
