I also recently passed a guy touring on something like this:

There's a book and movie (and possibly a blog) about a guy who rode a tall bike from northern Africa to South Africa, and documented the whole thing on video. In late 2010, or late 2011 he released a movie of it at the BFF. I think he and his friend were sponsored by Surly. He started on a Long Haul Trucker, and decided that was 'boring', and moved on to the tall bike, filming people's reactions along the way.
