Welcome to The Legendary Bullet series of the Ride Pure podcast. In this second episode, Gordon May speaks to Dutch round-the-world Bullet adventurer, Benno Graas. Accompanied by his wife, Thecla, as pillion, Benno has ridden his 1982 350 Bullet over 580,000 KM, mostly towing a purpose-built trailer. Their epic journeys include over one year of riding through Africa as well as extended trips around South and North America and Eastern Europe Unveiled 90 years ago in 1932, the legendary Bullet has stood the test of time as a sports bike, a trials bike, a commuter, a vehicle for exploration, the basis of tens of thousands of custom builds, and an ally of the armed forces. In India, it has been the king of the road since 1955 and unquestionably laid solid foundations for Royal Enfield as we know it today. In recognition of its unprecedented endurance as the "longest motorcycle model in continuous production", we will talk to people to whom the Bullet means everything over the coming months. They are explorers; restorers and mechanics; customisers and members of the Bullet riding community. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to like, add us to your favorites, or even leave a review.
