“15 Years, Countless Miles: How PikiPiki Overland Survived the World on Motorcycles”
“Fifteen years of living off motorcycles, and luckily, not a single trip-ending disaster. Michnus and Elsebie Olivier of PikiPiki Overland have crisscrossed Africa, Europe, and the Americas on their adventure bikes.
Dodging the kind of breakdowns, border chaos, and costly mistakes that often end a trip before it begins. From tense checkpoints in Sudan to endless gravel in Patagonia, they’ve learnt how to stay rolling when the road gets rough. Is it luck? Or can smart travel skills keep you going where others give up?”
“Back in 2010, South African riders Michnus and Elsebie Olivier set off on what was meant to be a trip through Africa. That ride sparked a life of full-time motorcycle overland travel that hasn’t stopped since.
They’ve spent years crossing continents, sharing practical tips on adventure motorcycles, travel gear, and border crossings—all while proving that long-term motorcycle travel is possible without big budgets or backup trucks. Their stories mix real-world advice with the raw joy (and occasional chaos) of living life on the road.”
