  Back in 1971 Britisher Ted Simon - then 44 - drops everything and goes around the world alone on a Triumph. The trip takes four years, and the story of it 'Jupiter's Travels' becomes the seminal round the world inspiration for thousand of other bikes.
  In 2001 Ted Simon decides to do it all over again. He has a better bike (BMW R80), and he is 69 yrs old. Wonderful re-tracing of the original trip.
