Does it really matter which motorbike you ride? Not in our eyes - real wanderlust knows no horsepower limit. As early as 1959, a man, Walter Küpper from the Ruhr region, set off on a Miele moped (1.5 hp) to circumnavigate the globe. Markus Mayer from Waltenhofen (Allgäu), on the road on a Vespa PX200 built in 1979, with about 12 hp, is another candidate who shows that it doesn't matter at all what you use to get around, the main thing is that you do it!
So we are probably well equipped with our two grown-up ladies.....the Queen of the Rising Sun and the Goddess of the Sahara - land out there, here we come!
