Do you think long-tour bike riders are treated different than other travellers? Why?
I always feel it makes a difference arriving on a motorbike. The further away, the more remote the pplace you reach, the most marked the impression.
Locals seem to ignore drivers and often are in two minds about backpackers yet welcome you and your bike with curiosity, often with admiration.
Do you have the same impression? Why do you think it's different? Admiration for motorcycles? Recognition of bravery?
Just wanted to contrast opinions.
Thanks
DD
