OK, this makes me feel like all I do is ride to the corner market! This guy and his R1 are amazing! A 3 year journey around the world! Oh if I only had that kind of time and money, I'd be there!

Only someone named Sjaak "the psycho" Lucassen would drive an R1 through all that. Especially not even using Dual Sport tires. Cripes, I betcha that bike is in a junk heap after that torture.

Nut's gonna freak when he see's the abuse that thing went through.

Much better choice of machine for such an undertaking - BMW R1150 GS Adventure.

edit: I guess I should also add that there's a book about that adventure by the same name. But an even better read would be Neil Peart'sGHOST RIDER:TRAVELS ON THE HEALING ROAD

But that takes the fun and challenge away, I think. Kind of like there are better bikes than a Gixxer to do an Iron Butt Ride on! :twisted:
I never have been one to do things the easy way. You'd think I would have learned by now! :mrgreen:
