You have no idea how happy I just got finding this while digging through your older videos. I just recently found out about Sam through a podcast, and I read his first book. The other three are on their way in the mail. The book and Sams look on life in general has been such an eye-opener for me. Now I have two Mototrek videos with him that I havent seen!

Cheers Rod. Of course the best interviews come down to the skill of the interviewer don't they. I much appreciate Bret, Christina and Tim for making this happen. Great fun to be around.

Ah, you took Sam on one my favorite regular routes. Too bad it was socked in with fog...the view is amazing, which is why I never tire of riding there.

great content!, i´ve just subscribed to your channel. just a question for now... Why a 1200GS? and if you know it, why they ride 800GS´s? I plan to do some long adv riding and I have to find out what motorbike works for me, so your experience might help alot.

So...if you have no job, kids, spouse, elderly parents to care and have health care everywhere in the world, or any other responsibilities you're good to go...mmmkaaay. The rest of us have others that depend on us and leaving for 8 days is a struggle let alone 8 years. Being a modern day hobo is a dream for some, the rest of us live have to live in the real world. I'm glad some get to tell us their stories though.

Hi Mark, I absolutely agree with you. I was hugely lucky in two ways. One that I was free enough to go, and two, that I recognised it at the right moment. The reality is that most people have responsibilities and what sort of world would we live in if people didn't take those responsibilities seriously?! It'd be grim. One of the main reasons I wrote the books is that we do live in an amazing world and travelling it is one of the best ways to find out the realities. I wanted to share that with those who would love to go but can't because of their responsibilities, but also with those who love the idea of travel but actually are happy where they are. Reading about it is fine. Of course I also love the chance that someone might read one of my books and think, 'If someone like Sam can do it, then I should have a go.' I hope that the journeys you do manage to make happen, long or short, make you smile.
