While you are of course, fully entitled to your view and thoughts on anything you choose, and indeed to express them in any shape and form you choose. There is a time and place for them.
To come to a forum website which is proliferated by people who travel in the very places you refer to, with such ridiculous preconceptions of doom and gloom........... is honestly quite laughable.
You give the impression of a clueless teenager ! You're clearly not, but with comments like that will only serve to make people have "ridiculous preconceptions of doom and gloom......" about John933. Which is no doubt completely ridiculous, ......right?

This is your first post on the subject. Not knowing what it was pertaining to. I'll give you a bit of back ground information to see if I can clear the muddy water's. There are two young lad's. Who both are caring injures of such a level that has seen them both come out of hospital. Then they post up saying about riding to Cape town South Africa. Then they tell us that it's there first time out on a bike, touring.
I was trying to point out that it could be a bridge too far. And a trip with in the EU could well get them blooded in to traveling. I then went on to give the reason's why. It was at that time the Mod's moved the post from that section to the pub. So what has been said before has all been lost.
With that lot in mind I still stand by what I have posted. I'm not no dumb azz poo shooter. Who douse not know what they are talking about. It's a case of learn to walk before you try to run.
Just to put the recorded straight. The place's I have been but not on a bike are. Aden, Worked up and down the Gulf, Two year's. Bangladesh, Singapore, and most of the Malaya. Crossing in to the Philippines, Then down on in to Darwin. British Solomon Island and Mombasa. And that's the place I can remember while I'm sitting here. Bet there is a few I've missed off.
My post to the two lad's. Was trying to be helpful, and informative.
