- Description: Helge Pedersen is a photojournalist and long-distance motorcyclist. In 1981 he purchased a BMW R80G/S - which he named "Olga" - and between 1982 and 1992 rode it through 77 countries across five continents, covering more than 400,000 km (250,000 miles). His journey included the first recorded motorcycle crossing of the Darien Gap, the 130 km (80 miles) of roadless jungle between Colombia and Panama, which took twenty days. The motorcycle was subsequently placed on display at the BMW Museum in Munich. The journey is recounted in his book 10 Years on 2 Wheels (1998)
