Ricky de Agrela
Ricky De Agrela’s adventurous spirit developed from an early age. He started parachuting at the age of 16, underwent two years of air-force training, and embarked on his first round-the-world trip in 1982, setting off with a backpack and US$ 100.
He has excelled in many sporting disciplines including cycling, running, surfing, mountaineering, canoeing, swimming and hang gliding.
In 2004 he established the record for the Longest Microlight Expedition in the world.

Today Ricky has re-established himself in business. Nonetheless, he regularly creates the time to continue his adventurous travels doing motivational presentations around the globe. His long-term objective is to travel to every country in the world to highlight the positive world in which we live.

Ricky's Bike
The reason for choosing this motor bike is primarily because of its simplicity and the practicalities around maintainance and repairs. Honda is amongst the most established motor cycle supplier and manufacturer in the region ensuring availability of parts and mechanical assistance. It is a very small motorbike for the over 20,000km expedition but this will add to the challenge of the experience. The biggest difficulties will be to operate the motor bike up the extremely high mountain passes of the Andes. I hope to overcome these problems by adjusting the carburettor at altitude. There certainly won't be room or power to carry many luxuries but then again to really travel one has to travel light.
