Panigale Challenge

<p> <strong>PANIGALE CHALLENGE</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://panigalechallenge.com" target="_blank">Panigale Challenge</a><strong> is about making money for Riders for Health</strong>. To make this more exciting and to involve more people I'll do the Eurodiagonal trip on the most exciting bike at the moment, the <strong>Ducati 1199 Panigale</strong>. That's right, you’ll follow the first Panigale to make it <strong>to the North Cape from the south of Europe</strong>! After the trip, the bike will be sold and <strong>the money goes to Riders for Health</strong>. To make this adventure happen I need your help! I started a Crowd Funding campaign to raise the money needed to buy the bike and reach the North Cape. Engine starts on 1st of June 2014 from Sagres, Portugal. <em>Yes you can make an impact!</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Timeline_14march_en" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/76949/timeline_14march_EN.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Visit <a href="http://panigalechallenge.com" target="_blank">panigalechallenge.com</a> for all details.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>RIDERS FOR HEALTH</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> The guys at Riders for Health are doing a great job to make healthcare more accessible in Africa using motorcycles. They are on the field, and their job makes a huge difference for local populations!</p> <p> They currently manage 1’400 vehicles across seven countries and their fleet travels around <strong>1’400’000km every month</strong>! All together we can help them reach more people and be more efficient on the field! Did you know a mobilised health worker can reach <strong>6 times more people!</strong>   Visit <a href="http://riders.org" target="_blank">Riders.org</a>   <img alt="Riders_impact" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/73934/Riders_Impact.jpg"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F6qnCH5oAPcA%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6qnCH5oAPcA&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F6qnCH5oAPcA%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>THE EURODIAGONAL</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> From <strong>Sagres – Portugal</strong>, the most south-western continental point of Europe to <strong>Nordkapp – Norway</strong>, the most northern continental point of Europe. It’s only 5’500km far, but as I prefer twisty road, let’s make it <strong>8’000km</strong>! Can you imagine the Panigale in the amazing landscapes of Spain and France on twisty roads of the Pyrenees. Or a Panigale in the middle of lowlands in northern Sweden! The perfect picture! I’ll make <strong>you live this trip from your sofa</strong> with daily pics and daily stories directly on your smartphone with the <strong>Panigale Challenge mobile app</strong>! <img alt="076" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/73936/076.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT</strong></p> <p> You are the key here, I can’t afford purchasing a Ducati Panigale and <strong>selling the bike for Riders for Health</strong>. That’s why I need the <strong>help of the community</strong>. By supporting the project with small or big pledges, <strong>you can make it happen</strong>! You can bring this Panigale to the North Cape and the most important of all <strong>you can make money for Riders for Health</strong> and they’ll make an impact in Africa! <strong>Spread the word!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE</strong></p> <p> Because the 1199 Panigale is the <strong>most exciting bike on earth</strong> at the moment, because it’s gorgeous and it will look perfect on pictures across Europe. Why don’t get a Multistrada instead? Well, where is the challenge of doing this on a Multi? It would be too easy. <strong>No pain no gain</strong>! The Panigale is the <strong>ultimate kick ass bike</strong> and it will be perfect for this!</p> <p> <img alt="Panigaleprofile_low" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/75500/PanigaleProfile_Low.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>WHO IS BEHIND THIS?</strong></p> <p> Hey I’m Séb aka <a href="http://il-bastardo.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Il Bastardo</a>, 35 years old living in Brussels Belgium.
