Kick ass! Sure there are bikes MUCH better suited to this trek, but it's cool to see something swim upstream and test themselves (and the bike).

Nick has been doing this a lot longer that Sjaak. This is his final trip, not his first.

Alot longer?? Sjaak Lucassen crossed the world in 1995 on a Honda CBR.Nick Sanders his first trip ever was in 1993 or 1994 on a indian.

Actually it was 1992, which in my book still qualifies as a lot longer
