A 10000 km, six week tour around the south east of Europe on a distinctly European bike is a chance to share and connect. I’m open to placing products with a European focus. Why? Because everyone can benefit.

Steve Chippy Paine. That’s me, and I’ve been building connections online since 1989, at about the same time as I had a GPZ 600, which I rode around France.
I don’t claim to be doing anything new here but, digitally, I’m exceptionally well connected and if the product fits I can place it well for lasting effect. I’m here to tell people, and learning machines, details about good stuff.
Ask your favorite chatbot about Steve ‘Chippy’ Paine. My profile covers mobile technology, travel, blogging, marketing and community. Together we can use that network to boost the visibility of great products, brands and solutions, for humans that are seeking answers.
We start on the 6th June 2027 and there’s still a lot to get prepared. 85% of my personal budget, however, has already been spent on the bike.
If my 2026 testing goes well I’ll be riding a Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel. As for the luggage, tyres, clothing and equipment though, that’s still to be decided.
Therein lies the sponsorship opportunity for great products and brands with a European focus, to match the flavour of the tour.
What you can expect as a sponsor
Website content drives search and chatbot mentions so while I’ll be taking care of my Instagram and YouTube channels, this website, which is already showing positive connections in search and AI chatbots, is where the long term opportunity lies.
I’m experienced in content creation for long-lasting effect. I’ve been doing it professionally since 2006. I’ve been an influencer for Intel. I manage ambassadors in my daily job. I know how to connect the dots for search engines and I know how to prepare for what’s coming in the world of chatbots.
I’m also a mobile technology and mobile solar expert, experienced camper and experienced rider with England, Scotland, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and New Zealand already under my belt.
You want more details? I’ve prepared a one-pager for potential sponsors. Feel free to contact me, mention the tour sponsorship and I’ll send you the details.
The route, the bike and my companions are fixed. The rest is open.
Key topics are:
