FYI Try reading "Investment Biker" by Jim Rogers. Yes that's "Biker" not
"Banker".
He and girl friend went from Ireland to Japan and back overland on BMW
bikes then went Ireland to Cape of Good Hope (overland), Australia (land
and sea), Tierra del Fuego and finally Alaska (overland) on BMW bikes.
IMHO Written pooly but a good read anyway.
