I never could spell..i blame bill gates.

And yes this is a strange thread.

Two people doing the same thig will end up with a totally different outcome unless it is very controlled.

So does it matter who did what for what motive and what the outcome was.

If i ever get the chocie of doing something like LWR i want a biek comfy bike and lots of comfort and limited risk. Why rough it or take on danger when you don't have to.

You're not the only one. I can't wait for Austin to read this (if he still subscribes) and gives his reaction.

He is possible wetting his pant as well, getting all this publicity

LWR had lots of corporate sponsors to please, I wonder if they would of done it differently if they had not or would they of done it at all

Who care who wins :whistle:

cheers Spud ;)

Not got much time for 'professional' travellers. I'm not much of an armchair traveller and when I do read something along those lines I always think that I could have done better myself. None of them come anywhere near Jupiters Travels which is the original and will always be the best IMO.

There was also Paul who left before TS on a Triumph and if I'm not mistaken traveled between 1966 to 1979 .. 13 years .I spoke with paul for over a hour back in 2009 and he was a very interesting chap, and still riding in his 80's. Ride in peace Paul
