Sjaak Lucassen motor globe totter




Some weeks ago I was invited to go to a lecture of Sjaak Lucassen.
He is a motor driver who has globe trotting on a motorbike as his profession.
On a Yamaha YZF R1 he travelled round the world in 5 years and 5 months .
This motor is a race motor.
Not the first motor you think about when you want to travel the world.
But Sjaak went everywhere , Africa, Asia , South and north America.
The whole trip was 250.000 km. You can read about it in his site http://www.sjaaklucassen.nl/
(There’s an English version too.)
During this tour he wrote his travel-story for many motor magazines.
Now back home in the Netherlands he tells his story with a PowerPoint presentation to make money for his next world tour. With photo’s and video’s and a lot of humour Sjaak entertains the audience.
During this presentation I made a caricature of him.
It was my present to Sjaak to tell him he’s doing a great job and to thank him for his story.
After his presentation I found out that my Dutch colleague Thijz joined him for the last part from France to the Netherlands. He also made a caricature of Sjaak.

Hey Jan...Sorry voor de late reactie. Hij geeft een leuke presentatie he?
Sjaak is momenteel weer onderweg nu van Key West, Florida naar Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
