    Yes - I'm flippant because I've done it. Co-pilot and me went Gypsy for a few years riding an XS1100 around Aus.
    Great experience. It wears off in the end - unless you are Michael Palin.

    Some bubbles need the air let out of them gently before they go pop, right in front of you.

    Some times you need to belive in your dreams, if you don't what is the point of having them. If a sixteen girl can sail solo around the world alone, then i sure can follow mine. Doing what i suggested in the thread starter is ............"My Everest", i may not conquer it today, nor tomorrow, but one day i will conqueror it.

    It is possible, you just have to make some sacrifices to make it happen if you really want it to.
    Instead of the package holiday to Rarotonga / Fiji / Gold Coast, get a flight to Bali, hire a bike and spend a couple of weeks cruising around Indonesia.... Amazing how cheaply you can live if you want to.

    Just don't crash into an oil tanker on your way out of the harbour.

    Yea - just gags.
    Insert picture of supertanker here.

    I don't find any risk taking activity inspirational - any more than Crusty Demons or Carver. Entertaining. Worthwhile - if people gain enjoyment from it - all for it.
    I tell hyou what I find inspirational - and I've told her so too - The Guzzi Widow - and people like her that take a crap hand and play it like a true champion.

    They make me want to do more with the cards I've got.

    The only thing that stops me is what ill do in 20 years when I run out of money.

    While the idea of what raftn is suggesting may appeal to some, it is stuff of fantasy.
    I guess, who wouldn't want to be able to do all of what he says?
    But (and heres the real hammer) make it more obtainable.
    I explain. This morning, I drove though our small but lovely town on my way to work, I saw a mate sitting having coffee at a cafe' with his M109 parked close by.
    He runs a Trade Business here and on any ven day he will decide to take the day off a go for a ride. Today is just perfect for a ride.
    Last year, myself and Mom had no work one friday so jumped on the bike and did the Northland loop, had a wonderful day.
    While most were at work, we were out playing on some great roads....now thats obtainable!
