Would never have thought about touring on a R1.

I "WAS" looking for a purpose built tourer to do a trip across europe on, but after seeing that i have had my faith re-affirmed that any bike can be used if the flesh is willing. Twisted Evil

That has to be the most inspiring video i have seen in ages, THANKS Smile

That's amazing. Was thinking about getting a dakar but shows what you can do with anything.

Reminds me of the guy doing the Sahara on a TNT.

I've tried reading his latest book, bought off and signed by him at the NEC, but tbh have got bored of it.

It's just one more flat-out circumnavigation, riding almost 24/7, without hardly any interaction with the local environment for the sake of a now unofficial record. Seems more of an endurance race than a tour.

It's also completely asphalt riding, the guy in the video is crossing some serious terrain on a superbike.

Brilliant stuff, I hope he can get a DVD out.

Loved the amount of water that came out of the exhaust after crossing the river. Laughing

His website can be found here:

If you have a look at the things that went wrong, and the things he had to do to repair his vehicle, you can see this was no easy task.

I would rather try what Sjaak did than Nick. I want to see these places, not inhale them. According to the website above, Sjaak was on the road at least 3 years. Being able to put World Traveller for occupation is pretty cool.

I bow to the Sjaak (even if I'm not sure how to pronounce his name).

This photo has rung a bell, I saw another photo of him and his blade in Bike magazine a few years ago.
