The public success with over 60,000 copies - now available for the first time as a paperback. They set off in 1981 and returned in 1997 - to a completely changed Germany. In between was a journey around the world. Just casually riding a motorcycle to Japan, traveling overland through Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and India - the plan was crazy enough. Klaus is 23, Claudia, who has never ridden a motorcycle before, is just 20. The trip was supposed to last ten months, which Klaus had meticulously planned. Sixteen years later, they return to Cologne - on the Rhine, with their boat Juma powered by their motorcycles, which they built in the Amazon. The only original parts left from their 500cc enduros are the frames, gearboxes, one mirror, one rim, and both headlights. They have covered 257,000 kilometers, traveling through Asia, Australia, New Zealand, North, Central, and South America, and Africa.
