I would say that this is unfair to the 99.9% of motorbike travellers you speak of (possibly you’re being flippant to make a point).
1 - let’s not forget the Pre-digital travellers: No internet, mobile phones or even land lines in 99% of 3rd world countries - no land lines in a UK bed sit in the early 80s!!
2 - This guy makes his living doing this so: a - he needs an angle, hence the crazy guy, doing crazy things on a crazy bike. b- he has all the time in the world - he doesn’t have to go back to work, he’s already there.
3 - He’s young: he hasn’t built up any responsibilities yet and he’s strong and supple.
4 - Not everyone has the persona or wants to tell the world about their adventures - I’ve met quite a few people who are very unassuming and will only talk about their adventures if asked.
5 - It’s all relative.
