Isn’t people watching a little elitist? And what exactly can you conclude about somebody from the state of their bike, boots, tent or whatever?
You can’t tell how somebody came by their bike, how hard they worked for it or anything else. And who cares if Ewan inspired them?
I thought his pretrip ‘SAS training’ was ridiculous but I didn’t have to watch his DVD or buy his book (I didn’t). If others did and it inspired them, then good luck to them.
There are also ‘seasoned travelers’ who like to wash their bikes and ride what they can afford. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with different approaches to motorcycling. There’s room for everyone.

PS Does anyone have a link for bike air-conditioning?
