To Jet Set - Wanderlust

[slowpoke]

Hmmm, you mean stop off somewhere like Timor Leste with barely functioning infrastructure, check out a graveyard or two, use your Timorese work connections to approach a dirt poor local bureaucrat and procure an alternate passport, hop over to South America and shed your old life like a dessicated snake skin?

Nah I never think of that sort of stuff.......

Thailand would be the destination, and with an ADV bike of some sort.

I had plans on riding around Turkey until Dorna canned the GP.One day I will get there just to visit the Gallipoli Peninsula and walk that hallowed ground.

The roads are crazy there. Driving skills are... "odd" at best.
Get an ADV bike for sure! If Newton's rules (action = opposite action) apply to pot holes, for every one filled in around the world, that hole goes to a Turkish road.

the South Island, just because I have not been there yet

and the Parc Mercantour in France. I used to live there for a couple of years, and did quite a lot of trekking and climbing there. Awesome Roads....

[unstuck]

5 mile beach, west coast. best reached from Okarito at low tide, just before the Waiho river. Old goldminers hut set back in the scrub.

When I've done my chores me & the Chancellor are off for a ticky tour. I have a fully loaded TDM sat in the UK ready to go. Just need to get a bike for the missus. And a sat nav..
So, penciled in to date. Visit my old mates & stomping grounds in Scotland, Isle of Man for the Manx, possibly Ireland. Sweden to visit friends & stick a toe over the Arctic circle. Germany to visit rellies & take up the offer of going round the Sachsenring in a Porsche, guy who made the offer has never seen me drive.....
And finally southern Spain to visit the old fella, go adventure riding and drink Rioja.
Lots of flat earth riding between stops but great destinations for us. Really looking forward to doing a decent trip with my G/F now she is licensed. Well, on her way to being.
When the mist clears & the bank account fills up I will be checking on MotoGp, Superbike, Extreme Enduro (really fancy Romania) and world Trials rounds for en route entertainment.

Failing all this I want to ride across the Simpson Desert.

Feel free to join me mate! If it weren't for the fact I work in a Suzuki Dealership...I'd be buying me one of these! Much cheaper...and dare I say it...a much better bike! But they'll never be as collectable for whatever reason. How cheap is this?

Very tempting. How long would you be going for? I am planning to replicate the "long way down" ride sometime before I am 35 (29 now) and the long way round sometime before 40. Taking 6 months a piece to do it.

[Oblivion]

Romania would do it for me.

That sounds awesome! I'll only be able to take four weeks off work mate unfortunately.

4 weeks will still allow a great road trip. I would LOVE to join you, but alas...my contracting clients and new start-up company would not thank me for buggering off for that long.

All good Bro! I plan to do plenty more! And yeah...I was only on the road for three weeks last time. Managed to see some pretty fucking cool things in that time. But I can certainly recommend Laguna Seca as a GP to go to. Never EVER rains there. No other GP I know of you can say that about. 22-32 deg c every day. Silicon tits and beer tents everywhere. It's fucking horrible.

I've just put a ride guide for South East Qld in to KR. It has some nice wintery attractions.

[Road kill]

I'd like to go to South America.

The Andes and the Amazon River.

Northern India,
The foot hills of the Hindu Kush is some the the most beautiful country on the planet and some tribes people still live in comfort there as they did a thousand years ago.

It sounds like a night in hell. I hope to never ever ever go there.

Cambodia and Vietnam on postie bikes...10+ weeks, within the next year.
Now to get this damn work things to one side
