Motorcycle Trip to the North Cape: With the Dnepr through 100 breakdowns to the Arctic Ocean

An old Dnepr sidecar motorcycle, the North Cape as a destination - and far more breakdowns than anyone could have planned for.

Christian Jenkner sets out on an extraordinary motorcycle journey across northern Europe. His route takes him through Poland, the Baltic States, Finland and Norway, all the way to the Arctic Ocean and the North Cape.
But this is no smooth touring adventure. The ageing Dnepr repeatedly demands repairs, improvisation and patience. Technical problems, bad roads, rain and unexpected setbacks become part of the journey - as do spontaneous encounters, helpful strangers and experiences that could never have been planned in advance.
With humour and a keen eye for the people and landscapes along the way, Jenkner tells the story of a journey in which man and machine are constantly put to the test. What begins as a motorcycle trip gradually becomes an adventure about persistence, independence and the freedom of travelling at your own pace.
Motorcycle Trip to the North Cape is an authentic travel memoir for readers who enjoy motorcycle journeys, classic machines, northern Europe and travel beyond perfectly organised itineraries.
