Touring tips?

[Freck]

• Fool the local theives into thinking your bike has an expensive alarm fitted. Achieve this by waking hourly each night and sounding the horn for one minute at regular intervals.
  
• Beat the Credit card companies at their own game. Run up a massive bill on your credit card and then kill your self before the statement arrives, thus avoiding re-payment.
  
• Take plastic bags with you. They may come in useful and eventually you'll save the planet from destruction from over pollution eventually.
