A real World Tour
Yes, we are almost ready. To GO!
Some think it's a world tour to go to Italy, Greece or the Northcape,
others need this distance to just get going and find
it hard resisting the attraction of the horizon. For motorcycle travellers
like these we started the Motorcycle Caravan.
We will go from Holland through Germany and Poland, the Ukraine, Russia,
Kazachstan, Kirgistan and Siberia to Japan.
We will travel a total of over 17.000 kilometres, of which
we will go about 2000 per train en boat. We have (only) 60 days. |

Hip, hip, hurrah!
This year it is 50 years since Yamaha started building motor
cycles. Of course we cannot let this pass unnoticed. The Motor Cycle
Caravan will visit Yamaha in Japan and bring over personal congratulations.

The
Silk Routes
We will follow parts of different Silk routes. Some are very old,
from the times of Marco Polo and his uncle Matteo. Others have not
to do with Silk, but with Salt. The youngest "Silk route"
we find in East Siberia, where we come accross a lively trade of used
Japanese cars. |

The
Team
This is obviously not a tour for
every one. We are a good group of 14 persons. Every-one has been
very much involved in the preparations and we are all experienced
travellers.
