It's quite an amazing story. Although I was under the impression that he had retired that bike and was riding a folder:

It's pretty amazing to read about his travels and think about how much the world has changed as he has ridden through it. Casual stuff he drops about how he visited Jerusalem when it was part of Jordon, or how he talks about ethiopia and somalia changing between visits really drives that fact home. Pretty amazing.
