I can follow the OP train of thought easily enough, there are plenty of mobile touratech adverts out there who seem to miss the point. I was waiting for a ferry when a pair turned up and spotted my Dragon/Elefant/finnish rally stickers. The first question was why did I put the stickers on the Bonneville when I'd need a GS or KTM to do those. These two had been on their trial run for their big trip to Brugge!
My intial thought was to label them as ******s. Then I thought, what the heck, if they enjoy themselves spending £20K for a week in Spain before they go back to playing power rangers on sunny Sundays who really cares. My only worry is that anyone interested in real travelling might be put off by their insistance that you need three GPS's between two and a yellow painted aluminium thingy to hold your butties. That I guess is where this site comes in.
I'm with the guys who suggest "Motorcycle Touring". "Extreme" anything (the possible exception of ironing) will just attract Bill and Ted lookalikes who''ll want to wear orange and ride in circles.
