Lou Leeuwrik, 63, a retired communications tech living in Adelaide, is an interesting fella. He and his partner Lynn, his sister, Jenny, and brother-in-law, Des had an idea for a ride, and in 2009 he grabbed a new, red KLR650 and kicked off ‘42MCA’. The anagram represented ‘Four To Motorcycle The Americas’.The crew flew their bikes to Argentina and then rode from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. That’s a trip of around 35,000km through some very harsh environments, including Ruta 40.
