Pulko Benka (w3071)

  • Description: Benka Pulko gained media attention for traveling on her motorcycle to all seven continents. Departing on 19 June 1997 from her hometown of Ptuj, Slovenia, on a BMW F650, she returned to Ptuj on 10 December 2002, setting a Guinness World Record for the longest solo motorcycle journey ever undertaken by a woman, in both distance, 111'856 miles (180'015 km), and duration, 2'000 days. In the process, she also became the first motorcyclist to reach all seven continents, and the first woman to ride solo across Saudi Arabia. The most challenging part was reaching Antarctica, which required hitching a ride on a sightseeing boat from Ushuaia, Argentina
