After reading his book, I think he's trying to avoid Iran and more particularly Pakistan. He had a teally shitty time there last trip.
gillies-
Yeah, although a lot of his troubles from that first trip would've been avoided by having handlers/helpers. So, if he's supported around the globe, presumably he could've removed the need for his troublesome police escorts, etc.
Then again, having a follow car could cause him other issues - that's more people he has to get through border controls and more chance of stuff going wrong. ie. if all his shit is in the car and it loses him or breaks down...

With a trailing vehicle, Russia might be made safer and it's probably faster than India with relatively better roads (I'm guessing, never ridden either).
