Hey Mate
Another review for you. Helge is probably the most famous bike adventurer of modern times, he only took ten years to complete his round the world trip.The pic of the Africa Twin bike in Portugal. Stick it in with a title something like….” Girls, I only go adventuring to exotic countries on my bike for the girls! Fuck the culture I say!”…
That could almost be a pun there…Fuck the culture…that's well funny.
A coffee table book filled with the most wonderful photography of Helge's ten year journey around the world.
Yes, he really did take ten years to see the world on a BMW R80 GS.
Unlike a lot of modern bike travelers he did not just ride through other peoples countries with nothing more than a quick hello. He stopped and worked with them, lived with them, gained an insight into how they lived.
As I understand it, he was the first person with a motorcycle to cross the Darien Gap in the jungle around Panama. This fact is recorded in the Road Knights (the local USA Marine detachment bike club) visitor’s book.
You want adversity…Helge lived it, weeks of rain, days of mud, snow, desert heat, few bikers could really put up with the trials that this man suffered in his ten-year odyssey.
He rode in places some of us have never heard of.
This is the kind of adventure that all motorcyclists dream of doing, but few ever will. As a book of great photos and insightful observations this is a must for armchair adventurers and riders who have that ” Big Dream Ride”.
Highly recommended, available from
Helge now runs bikers tours in different parts of the world, so you can have the adventure without the hardship if you are keen to try adventure biking yourself
Absolutely nothing to do with Mobikes but…Good old-fashioned adventure tales.
I found this site a while ago, thought I'd share it with you guys. But also the great pulp tales of the 30's and 40's like Robert E Howard's Conan and Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars and Tarzan. Doc Savage is also there. Modern authors also write many stories as well. Every genre you can think of, Action, Adventure, Suspense, Horror, Detective, Romance, Children’s novels. I could spend months on this site. And most of the stories can be saved to Microsoft word if you copy from Black mask and paste to word, and then save in a file on your PC. Great way to pass those winter months.Also at This is like being a kid a candy shop to me. Enjoy. –Jaq.
