I was definitely a biker before I was a traveller... I caught the bike bug at 18 after getting a job in a biker/rock bar.
In my early twenties after watching E&C whine their way around the world, I thought "WTF are they whinging about". "It looks so much fun".
So I packed up my bike with my now EX and we blasted our way around Western Europe having a grand old time..
Now I'm more of a traveller than I am a biker I think.
As I get older, I'm finding myself doing more non-bike travelling. I think that's because I've done quite a lot on a bike and now I feel like I've missed out on other ways to see the world.. I love bike travel but it certainly has it's negatives too.
I back packed in India at the beginning of the year and I'm off to the Yukon in June using a Canoe to head down the river for a couple of months.
However, there will ALWAYS be a bike in my garage, ready to go !! It gets under your skin.
