    I'm surprised that on a KIWI biker site, nobody has mentioned John Britten or Burt Munro.

    Well, if you think he should be included for that reason, then Glen Heggstad (the "Striking Viking") would be a better candidate: he rode the same route as McGregor at around the same time, but without a support crew, and then went on to do a few months more riding around other countries, unsupported.
    See here:

    And his homepage:

    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
