    Is this guy your touring companion from hell

    http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/Ne...llion-mile-man

    “I was stuck under the bike for two and a half hours in Ethiopia and three hours in Cape York,” he said. “That sorts the men out from the boys,"

    and
    “Oh yeah, about 14 year,” he said. “They were looking for me in Venezuela, in the mountains.”
    Who was?
    “The f****** world. Some people get on the internet every night, telling everyone what they’ve done. If they fart they email people about it. I don’t bother. I’m in the mountains where there’s no electric for two months. Same in Siberia. In the wilderness for two months. And people inform governments. They think I need rescuing. They need rescuing. They’re in a bloody city. I’m in the wilderness, where there’s nowt to go wrong.”
