XTreme Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 ......after a lifetime of service to Namby-Pamby Motorcycling! Because I got a Friend Request on FaceBook.........from TED SIMON! (In 1973, sponsored by The Sunday Times, journalist Ted Simon began a 4-year, 64,000 mile solo journey travelling around the world on a 500cc Triumph Tiger 100 motorcycle. His book, Jupiters Travels has inspired many overlanders). Can you believe it......a friend request from the Godfather of Motorcycle Overlanding! I better get my act together a bit now! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering whether he might have seen my abandoned railways and villages stuff on there......and thought I was some sort of adventurer/explorer? He's in for a let down then! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 That's sooooooooooooo cool. I was lucky to have a fair bit of time talking to him and Sam Manicon about 8 years ago when I helped out at the opening of an overland company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
