I agree Geoff, the fact is traveling is not a new invention or unique to people of the last few centurys. According to anthropologists modern man first came into existance in Africa and travelled the planet nomadically before finding a piece of land and taking root there, and thousands of years before them the Neandatals were who were found to have lived in europe were also suposed to have originated from Africa, niether of these races of people had motorbikes or rucksacks, just an instinct to travel and explore.
So if someone looks down there nose at you because they have had more experiances than you, seen more countries or have a tattier looking bike than you, just remember he/she does not own the patent on travelling, it is what it is,to whoever does it, for whatever reason they want it to be. Your not doing it for them, your doing it for yourself
