I keep looking for the article in the archives but can't find it
Edit:
Found a different article about him: Szene: Ein taubstummer Russe auf Weltreise - Motorradreisen: Nachrichten - MOTORRAD online
For those who don't speak German: his name is Vladimir Yarets, he's 60 something, deaf-mute and started his trip on a Jawa in 2000. Had a horrible accident in Illinois in 2003, broke 28 bones in his body and continued his trip after seven months of rehab. He was given a BMW F650GS by a Chicago business man whom he met during rehab and who was very impressed by his story.

Mate not sure if your being funny or what? the give away is in the photos says Started 2000 Belarus Russia & on his tank bag Russia.
I think it is an advocate for hard panniers, if you think about it because the panniers have wheels on if he gets stuck or falls over they act like staberlisers  well if I ever meet him I will buy him a  good luck on him
It says he had a 70th on may 2011
