Vintage Motorcycles. Travel. Repeat
As the traveling motorcycle road show known as the Cycle World’s International Motorcycle Show rolls into New York, a pair of riding enthusiasts are sure to draw a crowd.
The fearless Norwegians Klaus Ulvestad and Tormod Amlien are currently halfway through circumnavigating the world in their infamous Round the World Trip ‘KCCD09 -The Dumb Way Round’.
Making the trip on two Nimbus motorcycles with sidecars, made in 1937 and 1938, the travels so far have covered Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, South Korea, Canada and USA.
At their appearance at the Cycle World’s International Motorcycle Show the two motorcycle enthusiasts will share stories and pictures of the worldwide trip so far.
Included in the presentation will be a slideshow about the trip so far, from Norway to USA, covering 13 countries, two broken frames and front forks, 6 head gaskets, countless other breakdowns, too many liters of vodka and other trivialities you face when traveling the world on 70 year old motorcycles.
The travelers discuss their ability to create disasters, chaos, and breakdowns and teach fellow riders how bad planning, even worse execution, and low budget can be defeated by stubbornness and ignorance of common sense.
