Zero - if you are going to quote from somebody's posts make sure the next time you do it right because I didn't say that as it was Nat4 !  |

the book is really good too. read the whole thing in two days! gives a better insight into what went on than the DVD's. I know everyone gripes about them having a big ass backup team, but you can go on touring trips in africa with similar support.......just makes sense unless your a great mechanic/linguist/blagger.
As for them losing power brakes on the cameramans bike, it was because they didnt take the contacts off the battery, and shorted the system out when teh electric welder touched teh machine.
TBH things like that going wrong make it more interesting, and that little "red devil" shitter of a bike kept up fairly well despite it breaking down alot.
The whole thing really inspired me, and im am going to definitely tour europe, then do the trans american highway (from south america to alaska) if i can get my bro to come along too

My dad is '68' and has just done the 'Arctic Circle' on a 2000 model CB500, on his own  ... He did Norway, Sweden etc in the snow and howling gales. He was armed with a Hein Gericke Voyager suit, Frank Thomas Aqua boots & Gloves, a couple of maps (NO GPS), a knackered holdall bungied onto a Rentec rack and his silly old scenile head. The year before he did Europe and Russia on it. In 1999 he did Europe on a single cylinder 650 Honda SLR trail bike,, daft old git he is.
A guy was laughing at him one day, this guy had a Gixxer 750, he was saying " What do you ride that shit for, ya can't go far on one of them things".
The guy asked my dad if he'd been to 'Blackpool' on it, to which my dad said "NO", the guy said " There ya go then, just shows ya, you can't do F*** all on it". 
My old fella replied " But i have just done 4000 miles around Europe and Russia on it, if that counts!" |
