Sponsorship offer
“On The Silk Road”
August – September 2011
Motorcycles and trips were the two passions of ours which have resulted in this
very original project. Desire to learn the new, and doing it in an unusual way, has
given rise to the plan of a motorcycle trip to exotic countries of the Orient. Interesting
cultures, religions, different ways and standards of living, new experiences,
breathtaking landscapes as well as unknown smells, tastes and sounds - we would
love You to share all those exciting experiences and adventures together with us.
We would like to offer you cooperation in the project by sponsoring our motorcycle
trip "On the Silk Road". The scale of the project is so huge that in order to implement
it we need every kind of support, both financial and with the necessary equipment.
We are looking for companies wishing to advertise their products, services or brand in
an attractive and remarkable way. Our journey makes it possible!
Your logo, brand or a company name could be stuck or printed on our motorcycles,
trunks, T-shirts or gear, which we are going to use. We would also be pleased for
the possibility to test equipment or gear that You produce.
Media patronage
Our media partners have announced publications and relations from the expedition on
television, in magazines and on the web.
Magazines “Motocykl” and “Men's Health” will publish articles about the expedition
whereas onet.pl, 3zywioly.pl and motocykl.online.pl will regularly present the
expedition members’ reports.
Description of the project
The main idea of our trip is to pass the route of the ancient Silk Road on the
motorcycles. In times of antiquity and in the Middle Ages it was the longest and the
most extensive overland network of interconnected trade routes across the Asian
continent. The Great (so it is called in Asia) Silk Road changed its routes distinctively
over the centuries (depending on the political and military situation and the demand
for goods). Many cities and trade centers originated and developed on the Silk Road,
especially at its intersections and ramifications. The true pearls of the former Great
Silk Road were and still are the most famous, ancient Uzbek cities: Bukhara,
Samarkand, Khiva and a few others.
The historical and social significance of this project goes beyond the purely travel
incentives.
The objectives of the expedition
- Promoting the idea of realizing one’s dreams and awakening the passion to travel.
- Popularization of Asia – its beauty, specific culture, diversity, as an alternative to
everyday life that surrounds us.
- Promoting the motorcycle as the remarkable form of traveling.
- Experiencing an unforgettable adventure and the opportunity to share the experiences
with a wide range of people.
