Motorcycle Travellers Tales content
A tale of a dream achieved, a journey of self-discovery and exploration of the world on motorbike. For all independent travel enthusiasts. “...
A Bit About Us: Stefan (Dutch) and Marie (Filipino) met in Bangkok, Thailand about 7 years ago. We fell in love, opened a successful fitness business and got married all in the same year!
6 years, 1 cat and 2 thriving fitness studios later we decided to sell it all and follow our dream to travel around the world on our motorbike (BMW GSA 1200 Triple Black)
Our journey started on the 3rd of June 2017 from Den Haag, Netherlands and we have been on the road ever since.
We might take a couple of stops to visit home (Den Haag) to cuddle our adorable cat, Nikita, and for important events like Christmas and such while we are in Europe but 90% of the time we are traveling 300-800km a day to reach a new destination.
Plan for 2018 is riding the length and breath of the Americas! Visit our blog and stay updated...
When two brothers decide, at the ages of 30 and 32, to ride to the farthest southern reach of the Americas many questions arise as to the purpose of their journey. Need journey have purpose? Hunter S. Thompson argued that to try and understand the goal is to misunderstand the man. Many people exist in a state of unrealized potential in a world of wide horizons. Who are we to judge? We are simply two men caught between the tension of infinite (that which is possible) and finite (that which the Universe limits). With open hearts and minds we greet the world as the world welcomes us, from the North Shores of Vancouver and Nelson, BC to the South Shores of Terra del Fuego, Argentina. Enjoy.
After building a successful business, Dirk Weisiger was ready for something new. But he wasn’t sure what. Maybe a motorcycle adventure, I’ve never done that!
What followed was a fourteen-month, solo motorcycle journey from Austin, Texas to Ushuaia, Argentina, filled with unexpected adventures, surprises, and lessons about life and travel.
“I headed south to see new vistas on a solo journey, but ended up feeling more connected to the people I met along the way.”
“This isn’t the first book I’ve read on riding to Ushuaia, but it is probably the most enjoyable.”
– Muriel Farrington, Ambassador, BMW Motorcycles Of America
