During his 1992/1993 Australian adventure, Sjaak had tasted freedom a half year long! Being back in the Netherlands, he kept daydreaming of travelling the world. “Once in my life I HAVE to do this”, he told himself. Unnoticed, this dream already had become a decision for quite some time.
| 23 May 1995, the moment was there. Resigned from his job at the potato trader, leased out his farming land, abandoned the trailer he lived in and survived a heavy farewell party, he swopped his birthplace Maashees for the wide world. Leaving on the same Fireblade, he had in his head a list of countries which he definitely wanted to visit. |
|
|
●Russia, because of the enormous distances and because he wanted to experience how our previous so-called enemy in reality was.
|
●Japan, to ride the bike back to the factory.
|
| ●Indonesia, the nostalgic country where foreign motorcycles over 400cc were not admitted.
|
●Australia, to visit old friends.
|
|
●New Zealand, because of its extreme beautiful nature and the many, many winding roads.
|
●Nepal, the roof of the world.
|
|
●Israel, to see and feel how they live with continuous threat among Arabs.
|
●Egypt, for all its ancient culture.
