Adeyanju rose to fame rose when he embarked on a charity trip from London to Lagos, in a bid to raise funds to eradicate polio.
Adeyanju covered 12,000 kilometres riding through 13 countries and 42 cities within 41 days.
Speaking on his April 19 (London departure) to May 29 (Lagos arrival) trip, he said, “You know during the course of the trip, the bike became my friend, my closest companion. I spoke to him and discovered that machines also have soul.
“We may think they are just metals but they have soul because I spoke to Eagle a lot on the trip and the bike did respond back to me. We communicated.”
Adeyanju revealed that he was going to auction “Eagle” and embark on his new adventures with a new bike.
According to him, “It’s going to be disrespectful for me to ride Eagle just as a street bike because he’s done that very big and great thing. It was a team work between me and Eagle.
“So, I’m going to be auctioning Eagle and I hope whoever ends up buying Eagle is going to put it in a museum where people can see. The generation cannot only hear the story but let them see.”
