He went on to travel from through Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and down to the southern shores of the Arabian Sea, to Kerala. It was on the winding coastal and backwater roads of Goa and Kerala that he finally understood and put to the test, the freedom and adventure afforded by The Royal Enfield.

Since then Peter has gone on to discover and explore (nearly) all the states of India, touring and exploring the length and breadth of India - from southern tip to the highest passes of the Himalaya on his 1998 500cc Standard Royal Enfield.

After a recent solo tour to the north east of India Peter will open new routes into this hidden quarter of India, adding a new dimension to the adventure. The ride took him over 4 weeks from Delhi east across India and deep into the north eastern states - West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, and into the furthest reaches of Arunachal Pradesh.

Living in Kathmandu for 8 years taught him not only the culture, customs and magic of the Himalaya, he learned Nepali and use it to help him explore the furtherest corners of the country.

All FreeSpirit Adventure Tours have been ridden, explored, researched and planned by Peter, with a touring log of over 100,000kms across India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Peter is a both a keen advocate of renewable energy sources and once ran operations (from his Kathmandu residence) on Solar Photo Voltaic cells, a system he designed and built himself. Now residing in Delhi the Tours are taking a whole new life including the Expedition Ride concept and the Self-Guided Tour option.

Researching and developing Open Source CMS software takes up most of his normal working day, sun permitting.

He's also an accomplished Royal Enfield mechanic having rebuilt more than a few Enfields from scratch, skills learned in his teenage years on 'old British bikes'.
