Right, someone has to say this. Sorry Mike, but that's the most upsetting post I've ever read on the HUBB.

'Chase vehicles'
'Video auditions'
'Fitness trainers'
'Legal consultant'
'Should a Life Purpose consultant be consulted?'

I'm sorry, but you're ****ing kidding, right? You're not, are you? Jesus Christ, what have we become? How many other HUBB travellers have even heard of a 'life purpose consultant', let alone considered talking to one without laughing and pointing? 'What to see and do?' Are you really that lacking in imagination that you have to ask how to have an adventure? 'What would make this a good movie to you?' We don't need your film, we're living it. 'Perfect website?' We already have one, thanks to Grant and Susan - real travellers.

Motorcycle travel is not 'The Next Big Thing'. This is not pilates. This is not kabbalah. This is about getting away from the bluffers and wankers that clog up modern capitalist society. This is about escape. This is about self-sufficiency. This is about seeing how and who we are away from the safety nets of sat phones and breakdown trucks and travel guides.

This is a way of life. We're happy whores and we don't need a pimp. Live it, don't fake it for the cameras. Don't ask us to do all your research just so you can sell us the shite results for profit. And maybe, just maybe, you should re-read Ted Simon - cause you seem to have completely missed the ****ing point.

Now sling it.
