Daan
He's one of
those rare people that always in a good mood, wich annoys me greatly.
Ever smiling, and always there for people who need something
heavy carried up their stairs, Daan is the wookie that Han Solo could
only dream about. With more outdoor experience than most homeless
people, and no need for sleep he's ideally suited as a chum for a trip
like this one. The only drawback is that he needs loads of food to
function. Where survivorman would be able to survive on grubs and
berries for days, Daan would have to eat survivorman. But seriously...
Daan's in charge of the navigation, and takes care of the heavy
lifting. Though not the most experienced motorcyclist (he's been riding
for about a year now) he has travelled a lot on a low, or even no
budget.
Christiaan
And now for something completely
different. This guy loves leisure, relaxation and the finer things in
life, like very expensive whiskeys. He even managed to turn his bike
into a relaxing chair (see photo). Dispite his need to loaf on the
couch or play base for the better part of every day he is sort of
hardened by life and after our numerous vaccinations has little left
to fear in this world.
Generally he also brings a nice bit
of sanity into the team, with remarks like 'you shouldn't try to
catch that crocodile with your bare hands' or ' crashing into
that elephant won't move it out of our way'. Furthermore he actually
knows how to ride, so his main job on the trip will be lifting my
bike of me. Secondary he'll be writing this web site, supplying
(action)photos and provide musical support. Finally the fact that he
can't reach the ground while on his bike should provide for well
enough slapstick to last a year.
