Morning,
Ever since i got my motorcycle, all i can think of is my dream trip on my bike. It involves several stops along the way, and includes alot of Km...(DOH)
I am writing this today in search of tips, help from people that already did this and had to experience a long trip first hand.
I am not talking about the kid of trip where you get to sleep in Mariotts and Sheratons... No... its the kind of trip where you sleep in the wild
I am still young, but i am dying to do this... This summer, instead of taking summer courses like i usually do, i will be on my dream trip; alone or with 40 bikers it doesn't matter, as long as i can feel the cool summer breeze on my cheeks
Here is the list of things i will be needing, and please feel free to add more to it as you see fit. I would like to take into account all the variables so if something unxpected happens i will be ready for it.
So far here it is:
