I just found out that former Gumballer Uno Gomes and 7 of his friends got a single-engine Pilotus PC-12 plane and flew around the world. Their blog and photoblog about the journey is at SmilingFlyer.com.
However the trip was finished in February 2008. But inspiring nonetheless!

Trying out some new equipment, software and plug-ins.
The guy driving the motorbike is Tomi Kitola, one of Finlands best motorcycle stuntriders. Visit his website, www.tomikitola.com.
The music is ‘Stick Em Up’ by Quarashi.
Filmed by me, with Canon HV20 (Raynox HD3032 Pro 0.3x lens) and Sony Super HAD CCD 2.9mm wideangle bulletcamera (Canon MVX330i miniDV as recording device). Tomi made most of the mounts for the bulletcamera.
Edited by me, with Adobe Premiere CS3 and Adobe After Effects CS3. Colors with Magic Bullet Editors, and some of the transition and title effects in AE with the ‘Twitch’ plug-in.
Hey,
It sure has been a long time since I’ve written anything here. Anyways, I’m going to start adding the occasional post here once again.
Sjaak Lucassen is a man from the Netherlands who traveled around the world on a Yamaha YZF R1, yes that’s right, a street super sport motorcycle, he even drove it in the jungles and deserts of South America and Africa.
He started his trip in March of 2001 and it took about 5 years and 5 months, after which he returned to the Netherlands.
Sjaak is sponsored by companies like Yamaha, Arai (helmets), Metzeler (tyres), JAMA Engineering (Laser exhaustpipes) etc.
This guy is truly an inspiration!
Check out his video on YouTube.
