What's the bloody point going on bikes if they've got pickup trucks full of gear and support crew following them?

Old news, and bassjunky, I don't understand how there's no point in them doing it.

If you want to ride to South Africa with no spare tyres, a socket set, no spare parts and a sandwich, then I think we'd all be interested.

I would guess because they're doing a bit more than writting a book about it..... Razz
