Who Are We?

I’m 34 years old and work as a domestic heating engineer. I am married to the beautiful Sarah and have two lovely children - Tabitha and 'the boy' (Theo)! Whilst downing 2 pints of Kingfisher with a curry one Friday night a colleague suggested we do a gumball style rally around England, France and Austria. Now as appealing as this idea was, due to money (lack of), time (lack of) and a wife who would probably say no I told him I would not be able to make it. But somewhere in there was an idea spinning around. Half a lager later and hey presto - the Dumball was born.

Now I don’t want to take full credit for this as I merely shared this delicate seed with another, but this thought grew in another’s head, it developed arms and legs and became the beautiful beast you see before you, the other's name was Chris ‘El Chopper’ Cooke.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our humble site, and please visit the sponsors to ensure we fulfil our dream.

Rob "Is that the oldest you've got?!" Kent

Rob has an eye for the classics, which essentially means that he plans to buy something older than he is, and with actual pedals - I can almost smell the black smoke now! Rob's favourite bike at the moment is the puch maxi.

Mike "The Dead Man" Cautley

Mike's lovely wife Diane has just had a baby boy. So you can imagine how happy she was when I told him about the dumball and he decided to buy himself a VERY old motorbike. Sadly Mike's bike was ready in time for the rally and when you look at his bike page you may understand why!
