I guess it depends on how you define fame. I've never heard of the bloke. It's a good thing to do for oneself, go ahead see the world without joining an army, and do it on a motorbike. But if he'd gone around the world walking on his hands I'd say, well done. Going around on a bike is a massive ego trip, and as I say I've got nothing against people going on ego trips (see above, it's a good thing), but doing it by walking on his hands, that's commitment and admirable in it's pointless stupidity. Riding around on a state of the art bike is not suffering at all - in fact you could call it skiving off work, and him a lazy bastard.
