Recognition at Last........

Recommended Posts

......after a lifetime of service to Namby-Pamby Motorcycling! Because I got a Friend Request on FaceBook.........from TED SIMON!

(In 1973, sponsored by The Sunday Times, journalist Ted Simon began a 4-year, 64,000 mile solo journey travelling around the world on a 500cc Triumph Tiger 100 motorcycle. His book, Jupiters Travels has inspired many overlanders).

Can you believe it......a friend request from the Godfather of Motorcycle Overlanding!

I better get my act together a bit now! :classic_unsure:

Great stuff !!

I was wondering whether he might have seen my abandoned railways and villages stuff on there......and thought I was some sort of adventurer/explorer?

He's in for a let down then! :classic_laugh:

That's sooooooooooooo cool.  I was lucky to have a fair bit of time talking to him and Sam Manicon about 8 years ago when I helped out at the opening of an overland company.
