I often read about bikers and travellers planning RTW trips through some very remote and war torn countries. You seem to read more about their worries for bike insurance and visa applications than about their own safety.
The concern I have is that if something should happen to them e.g. kidnapping, what is their exit strategy to get out of the s**t. Do they expect the army to come and rescue them thereby endangering the soldier’s lives as well and what about the stress and worry of their families and relatives as well.
So the question is `do you have the right to potentially put other lives at risk to rescue you so that you can have bragging rights down your pub and in some forums?
It might not just be your life at risk?

The way you phrase your post suggests that you would only visit a 'dangerous' place to brag about it, and that you view the world in a rather black-and-white way, i.e. 'I will not get killed in county X, but I might get killed in country Y'.
I think far more 'adventure' motorcyclists come to grief from accidents rather than conflict or kidnapping. It's not exactly the safest of hobbies, is it?
