I cannot, for the life of me, figure out this person's name. She says it, right there in plain language, but I just can't catch it. Does the name sound familiar? I kinda think the last name is Gomez, but even that I'm not so sure of.

I have found a written reference to a person with a last name of: ten Thije ook genoemd Boonkkamp. I am assuming that it is Dutch? and can anyone transliterate it into English, especially the non-capitalized parts? Does it mean 'Thije' who is married to 'Boonkkamp' or anything like that?

UK-dwelling or motorcycle enthusiast MeFites may be able to help on this one. I'm coming up with nothing in my search for information about a magazine about motorcycle touring that's based in Bristol, England. I believe the title is Motorcycle Ventures, but that could be wrong. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
