Sjaak Lucassen interview by Jerry Rapp

You want a motorcycle movie? Here's one for you. And it doesn't even star Fonda, Brando, or Travolta.  It's real. It's unbelievable.  It actually happened.

He drove it across 75 countries, traversing a total of 154,568 miles in five years. But "drove" could be arguably too generous a description.

As one could imagine, the challenges were countless and nearly back-breaking.
