We had a dream- now we have a project
jazz - "How did you get to this idea? With the motorcycle around the world?" Very often we have to answer this question. And, honestly, I'm asking this to myself from time to time. The answer to this question can hardly be formulated in only one sentence. As behind each large idea also here a developing history stands behind it- which I want to tell you gladly.
Read the story how the dream came true here.
