- Description: In 1964, aged 24 and with little money, Caggiani departed Montevideo on a 1947 Indian Chief motorcycle with Capelo as pillion, riding north through Bolivia - where they were shot at during a revolutionary conflict - Colombia, where they suffered near-starvation, and Panama, where a serious mechanical failure left Caggiani hospitalised for 17 days. They continued to San Francisco and then east to New York, where they separated after Capelo was pursued by the FBI. Caggiani continued alone through Western Europe, where the motorcycle was stolen in Rome. In mid-1966, following a further accident, he shipped home from Lisbon. The journey covered 26 countries
