If you could ride an bike anywhere where would you go?

Post by duke63 »

I have two places i would love to see and ride.

Iran would be my first choice. Every vidoe i watch of people travelling through Iran shows and amazing country and amazing people.

The other is Patagonia shared by Chile and Argentina. Only spoken to two people and both said its the most stunning place they have seen.

Hmmm......I think while Kaptain Khaos is dealing out Justice in Wuhan, I'll be ambling along the length of the Pan-American Highway. It's about 14 million miles long, or thereabouts, so I'll be taking spare undies.

But seriously.... Switzerland, maybe... that sounds kinda cool.

Scandinavia. The fjords.

Maybe South America too.

It was watching this this afternoon that made me start the thread. The world out there isn't anything like that the politicians and media would have you believe. Its worth a watch.

I appreciate those facts even more now I live away.

I’d like to do the IOM as a bucket list, and pretty much anywhere decent in Europe. But if I got stuck back in NZ for the rest of my life and had to ride those roads, I wouldn’t be complaining at all.

True but only because I was riding behind you picking up the main securing bolts that held your engine in the frame as they bounced down the road towards me :?
