Where would YOU go?

[FROSTY]

I'm curious what people think.
Say you won a competition that got you a week anywhere in the world. and a bike supplied appropriate for where you were along with any backup needed so all you had to do was get on and ride.
NO limit to the expense and the backup

Yup, cause if someone else is paying, might as well take advantage of that, and spend their money, on the more expensive option... Save my own money for touring around here...:)

All good day rides from Kaikohe GB....why leave the Country to get your rocks off???.....:cool:

[McJim]

[gatch]

On my way to Europe to pick up my Desmosedici, I'd have a jump set up off Aire's rock in oz, I'd be on a nitrous'd blown Harley, wearing a wing suit and parachute.

That ticks pretty much all the boxes I think.

[The Stranger]

I'd take the sexiest bike ever, the tamburini thank you very much. Oh and I would'nt come back. I'd keep it and go into hiding

[Conquiztador]

Europe on something that could do 250 - 300k/h and do the German Autobhans. Legal speeding. For hours. Then U turn and go back.

Could be a GP bike, a V8 2 wheeler, but would love one of the old 2 stroke 500cc racing ones... Something Saarinen or Agostini used to race would give me a woody...

[Starky307]

Coast to coast Canada would be up there in my choices, the people rule and the country is beautiful but I've yet to see Europe so my choice would be to start in england and ride east through the tunnel into france and then take alternate left right turns at all the major intersection, who knows where i would end up.

[sondela]

Finish restoration of the L2/1, full leathers & the Isle of Man, babie :cool:

You have it in one! isle of Man without a doubt..just not sure which bike! so many bikes, so little time...

[mujambee]

New Zealand

No, you won't. Longest run I've found in an Autobahn was some 15 minutes.

And U turns are Ilegal. ;)

You would end up in jail, because the tunnel is only for trains :)

[Mikkel]

For ONE week? Easy.

South Central Europe

Honda RVF750 with a HRC WSBK tuned engine.


As for the location, I already live on the South Island of NZ. This area has got some very varied roads, great food and the Italians love anything with an engine... irregardless of where it's made.

As for the bike, there are faster and more modern bikes that are easier to ride out there but still that would be a bloody treat. And we aren't talking about going to racetracks here the V4 ought to be nice and versatile.

New Zealand

Things must have changed since the 80's when I travelled through there. But if that is true, then still: Gimme a 500 old 2 smoker GP machine and let me loose on Isle of Man. Round and round and round and...

[TOTO]

A day on the Dragons tail in the US on my bike...




...and 6 days on Aprilia in Italy :love:

[cc rider]

Gimme a 500 old 2 smoker GP machine and let me loose on Isle of Man. Round and round and round and...

[frewi]

A loose metal road back in NZ on my xr650r with my mate mike on his xr powersliding round corners and wheeling up the straights, then hook off on to a long beach at low tide and tear it up:headbang:
Bloody Frenchies have tarsealed all the little country roads, i think its because its easier to blade the snow away. Found a gravel road down in Limoges last summer in some forestry Only 5ks long. Must had done it ten times on my old xr500. Brings back memories. :(

[malfunconz]

[JacksColdSweat]

Route 66 on a Harley,just because.

Don't want to piss on your strawberries but this trip isn't that good... go with very low expectations...

[madbikeboy]

You asked what bike, and where for a week.

I'd ride Paris Hilton, but I'd only need a day before I got bored.

[FJRider]

Thailand / Vietnam / Cambodia somewhere around there.

At the very least - I know I'll love the food and I can bring pics back of the local ladies for SpankMe.

I think he might appreciate it if you bring back a lady for him...or two...
