The Last Hurrah. From Beijing to Arnhem

<p>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's son Steve joined this intrepid pair as a cameraman and general factotum for the highs and lows of an incident-packed three-month trek from Beijing to Arnhem on 'Penelope' a 1965 Yorkshire-made 650cc Panther and 'Dutch Courage' a 1954 Norton 600.</p><p>Was this idiocy or odyssey? Decide for yourself as you read Des Molloy's account of their adventures and misadventures. You don't need to be a motorcycle maniac to enjoy this story which reads like a long yarn over a</p><p>few beers at the pub.</p><p>Prepare to be amused excited moved entertained and informed as you find out how much of this impossible dream became a reality for our unlikely trio.</p>
