I`m not sure if this has been posted on here before but I`ve just read about this amazing bloke in the Australian 'Two Wheels' bike magazine.
He`s a 64 year old deaf mute who is riding around the world. He relies on kindness and donations from other motorcyclists to make his trip possible. Check out the website..

Had I known he was coming to Aus, I would have certainly put him up for the night.

Rob, I'm replying to your post because you're right, it's great to see someone who doesn't have what we all take for granted and go for it. That's guts.

Hi Rob, yeah I was also pretty impressed with the article. I hope they paid him appropriate rates for the story to assist his travels.

Nice story Rob. Much more interesting reading than Luvvy and his sidekick.

Don't talk about it - do it!

He was passing through this area, god it must of been a couple of years ago now and was struck by a semi on the interstate. Totalled his Jawa and landed him in the hospital. I visited him and he was a very friendly and happy man. A meeting that I will not forget.
