The Ural sidecars.

HA NOI (VNS) — A group of eight motorcyclists from Australia plus several from other countries will join a 200km journey in Russian-made Ural sidecars from Ha Noi to Pu Luong nature reserve in Thanh Hoa Province on September 28.

The tour operator, Glenn Phillips, said yesterday that the journey, the 2014 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, was being held to raise funds for prostate cancer research.

Participants hope to raisen US$1 million, including some of it donated themselves. Each sponsor is expected to contribute US$200 to the ride.
