Hello guys, I am a relatively amateur "biker", I only have a 50cc Keeway. Anyhow, I still enjoy rolling along on two wheels and I enjoy reading about the adventures of others.
I've also managed to get in touch with some interesting guys over the years like Ted Simon, Nathan Millward and Austin Vince. I was at the Adventure Travel Show this weekend and here I met Austin Vince.
I managed to ask him a few words and he was very kind to give some advice to a novice. I paste it below here.
If you want to write your own story for my blog or know someone I could interview, please let me know.
If you want to know more from Nathan on his round the world trip on a 105cc bike, head to my site to watch his video and read what he told me.
I know you will probably call me a shameless spammer and the like, but this is the random banter page and I wanted to draw your attention to what these guys have said since it might be of interest to you. Anyway, a link to my site - Solaris Traveller - should be in my signature.
Here is what Austin said:
I asked him this: What would be your advice for a novice before setting off on a motorcycle trip of a lifetime?
“Well, just go!” OK, this caught me off guard and I think he saw this so he then carried on: “If you asked me for advice on jumping over this four lane road I would say it’s not possible, yet many people think going on a bike trip around the world is the same difficulty. It simply is not!”
“Of course, you will need funding and will-power, but at the end of the day you just need to set off and follow one direction. There are many people that will never do it. Either they don’t want to, or if they want to they just cannot make up their minds. They simply cannot break away from a working life – the 9-5.” |

Hello, and welcome, would be very nice if you stayed around and posted and joined in the discussions.
I haven't really got much to contribute to a blog though. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 92 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
