I'm not much of a tourer (yet) but I do enjoy reading and watching all sorts of m'cycle touring stuff. I mention this R1nderer a lot, but only just stumbled upon this interview on MCN. There's a couple of travelling tips that might be interesting to those with a more left-field view of things.

9. Follow your own path
A KLR overtook me in Argentina once on route 40. It was wet and there were potholes and mud everywhere. He rode around each puddle and shot off. I took my time, kept my own path and rode straight through each puddle.

The next day I caught up with him. Mud had caked between his swing arm and back wheel; he had ruined his clutch plates and had no spares.

The water from each puddle had cleaned the mud off my bike, tyres and brakes. Pick the path that makes sense to you.
