He's one of those people that you can't help but like.

I get the impression that he is a genuinely decent bloke and is enjoying the route even though he probably only does a little bit of mileage on his Boom Trike, I dont know i may be wrong he may say after filming 'what a load of st' I dont think he was all that about Kansas although he only saw a small portion.

Having seen him in stand up he is a very very funny bloke who didn't give a fk.

Came across this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Route-66-Music-Inspired-IT...

Slightly odd combination of motown, a bit of blues and irish rap.. sounds like Billy all right!

That collector guy must be sat on a fortune.

Love the comment on the cutting of his jacket - the way they cut it up the seams so as could easily be stitched together again. More like were afraid of being sued for damages. hehe

Did I spot an abandoned Saab Sonnet in that deserted town?

Always had a bit of a daydream to travel across america by bike. Get the impression it might be a bit dangerous on your own though.

Nope, heard that one. It was only on for a few seconds before and after one of the sections. Don't think there was any lyrics, just instrumental
