Many motorcycle riders dream of riding off to distant horizons in search of adventure. Some go and do it. Some even make TV programs about their trips - and I love those. I became inspired by the example of riders who have answered their ‘inner wanderlust’.
After years of planning and saving, I'm now setting off for a journey that will take me across continents – first, following the ancient Silk Roads which stretch east from Europe to farthest China.
Then, for a different perspective, I will ride ‘top to bottom’ from Alaska to Argentina through the contrasting cultures of the north, central and southern Americas. And finally, health and wealth permitting, can I travel from Cape Town to Cairo, and back into Europe?
