We have the first presenter confirmed:

Frank Lindert, a profesional German photographer and around the world motorcycle traveler will show pictures from his 7 year journey ... and he has only done half of the world yet on his Bmw R100GS. I am sure you have seen some of his picture stories in mc magazines.
