October 2011. It’s a Sunday. I’m in front of the TV,
relaxing before a busy Monday. A documentary about two guys riding their motorcycles
around the world comes up. They’re talking about the sense of freedom, about
how this is the most personal way of travelling, about engine maintenance,
about physical endurance and skills, about adrenalin. I ask myself; “Why am I
still delaying?” Not being able to find a fulfilling answer, I start reading
and researching the next day. My first goal is set: {To complete my first “long”
(longer than 1 week and 2500km) ride within 2 years.}
