Even while fighting the Taliban, Prince Harry can’t suppress his passion for bikes.

Prince William and Prince Harry's motorcycle trip cancelled

The Prince enlisted army friends to help bump-start a Honda CG125 abandoned in the desert - and the diminutive commuter spluttered into life.

Harry was 10 weeks into a 14-week tour in war-torn Afghanistan’s Helmand province. British media had agreed to keep it secret until his return but the lid was blown by a US website.

Good PR

What makes you think those tw@ts in Brussels would pay a blind bit of difference that Hars rides a bike :doubt:

. You saw the news, great advert NO crash helmet :mad:

. He could have at least wore that crappy kevlar thier issued. If anything it probably gave them more ammo for sticking the knife in and getting us irrisponsible, tax dodging, speeding, crims off the road.
