The Last Hurrah: From Beijing to Arnhem 2005
Kiwis Des Molloy and Dick Huurdeman look like the sort of guys who should be sedately steering a sleigh in a Santa parade, not riding old single-banger British bikes half way across the world through some of the most difficult and remote terrain imaginable. Des' son Steve joined this intrepid pair as cameraman and general factotum for the highs and lows of an incident-packed 3 month trek from Beijing to Arnhem on 'Penelope', a 1965 Yorkshire-made, 650cc Panther, and 'Dutch Courage', a 1954 Norton 600. The route took them over the roof of the world through China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, the burning deserts of Iran, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany and finally to Arnhem in Holland.
