Who is the weirdest guy you have ever met? Does that guy have the ability to crack you up without ever telling a joke?
Meet my friend Peter Siegling.
I met Peter a long time ago when I sold my brand new BMW suit. Unfortunately we lost touch after said sale but during the 2021 Honda Quest pre-qualifier event Peter showed up to show his skill and from what I understand the judges were very impressed.
Peter will be the first to tell you that too many people in the same room as him used to scare/intimidate him immensely. He has had treatment for this but it never really went away..
I was happy to see that Peter made the cut into the final 14 for the Honda Quest and I believe his life changed dramatically during the event. @hartebees and I had a chat the other day and we both agreed that if we do a trip again, Peter would be on our shortlist of invitees.
Fast forward to this tour. Peter and his XR650 R (one of the few ones that starts 1st kick hot or cold) traveled with us (the crew) to Namibia and we thoroughly enjoyed his company.
Peter has an innocence about him that makes you pay attention to what he says and does. I have one many occasion on this tour cracked a joke which did not immediately land. When it does Peter's eyes lights up and that is the part that I really enjoy.
Peter - you are one hell of a riding buddy and a hell of a friend. Your quirky way of doing things is refreshing and I can't wait to tour with you again
