A friend got me interested in riding motorcycles. So I bought myself a Honda Africa Twin. Later this motorcycle carried me through Africa.

My first major journey was in 2004 and took me through Africa. There I had the wish to make a trip round the world one day. On 1/5/2007 my wish came true!

My most emotional moment was when I got to know my wife in Goa.

It was tense when I abandoned my motorcycle in Northern Kenya and walked back towards the police station with just a few mouthfuls of water. Finally I was rescued in the night by a jeep from the nearby missionary station.

I needed 3-6 months before the planned departure date. But I dreamed about it before that...

A flip-down visor helps in extremely sunny regions. The ventilation shafts on the C2/C3 enable you to keep cool even in hot countries.

I took the C2 and C3 along on my most recent journeys. They're simply super! The C3 has eliminated many of the weaknesses of the C2.
