World traveler

[Rocky]

This fellow is Australian, Martin Williams.
He has been on the road for five years on his 1990 KLR650 Tangail.
He has visited 53 countries on six continents and was in town last weekend for the Canadian Superbike races at our local track.
I don't know this fellow, but some here may know about him.

Impressive adventure.

I envy his adventure!

What gets me about travelers like this is how do they sustain themselves for all that time.
It takes money and resources to cover all the costs; gas, tires, repairs, food, shelter. He probably camps at night, but every night isn't going to be weather positive.
Anyway, he's doing it so more power to him

You can't do that kind of travel without a sponsor and backup - or very deep pockets..

And I forgot about the cost of jumping from continent to continent and shipping the bike and yourself.
Yup, the money has to come from somewhere.
