May your trails be crooked, winding, narrow, dangerous, and leading to the most amazing view.

In 1934 Theresa Wallach drove her motorcycle from Europe to South Africa overland. Riding «the Perfected Motorcycle» 600cc single-cylinder Panther 100 equipped with a sidecar and pulling a trailer (!) Theresa crossed desert and jungles. This epic journey was the first trip of this kind on a motorcycle combination.

Here are a few highlights, an impressive silent movie in black and white, filmed with a 16mm Cine Camera.

Warning: If you’re anything like me, reading this may make you feel like an epic under-achiever.
