Sjaak Lucassen – R1 World Tour

In 2001 I took off for a trip around the world on a Yamaha R1. How long? “3 Years,” I told the ones that expected an answer. "As long as I need", I had in my mind. It became 5 years and 5 months, traveling with “time as my friend” through 75 countries, riding 250,000 kilometres. An unbelievable experience with beautiful encounters and breathtaking landscapes.
At Discover Overland 2018 I will tell all about my trip. You can expect: Passage on a cocaine boat • Blasting dynamite in Bolivia • Crossing the Sahara • A motorcycle as hand luggage in a Russian plane • Speed record on the world’s largest salt lake • Stalin’s Road of Bones • River crossing in a dugout • In love with a Venezuelan beauty. All performed with a great sense of humour, enlivened with videos and photos.
