THE STORY
While we were caught up in a brainstorming where no one could understand a thing, my brother Ion came with the idea of selling kilometers. I know, I laughed when I heard it, too. For about a second. Afterwards, it started to seem interesting. And that night I couldn’t sleep, as the idea was sleeping under the pillow. From that moment on, the package has started to build up. My route has about 21,000 km. I’ve split this path in pieces of 500 kilometers and I’ve put them on sale on a motorcycling forum. The buyer gets this: the story of the kilometers he buys, the photos taken on that part of the road, a stone picked up from there and his/ her name on a sticker that will be on Doyle’s windshield throughout the journey. When concluding the ‘transaction’, the buyer gets a ‘receipt’ in the shape of a coloured cardboard and a sticker that says ‘I own kilometers’. All this package at the price of €50/ lot. All the 42 pieces were almost instantly sold. And they became 43, due to a friend that came too late but I couldn’t refuse. Thus, 43 people are with me on this road until home. And I still can’t believe it. But I strongly believe I am a lucky man.
Thaaank you!
