I'd be interested to hear some dream riding trips people have kicking around in the back of their skulls.
I'll kick things off with one I really want to do within the next 2-3 years.
KTM 990 Adventure + Iceland + 20 days
The 990 adventure is this dealie here:
It is a pretty big bike (I'm 6'3" and my knees don't bend much when feet are on floor when seated in it) and brilliant for all terrains.
Iceland is the most amazing place on earth from what I have gathered with respect to geology and natural phenomena from all the volcanic and other activity going on there.
Imagine riding down the middle of this with not a soul around for hundreds of miles........
This is Iceland.....and only 300,000 people live there....most of them on that ring road around the country.
$150 a day books you one of these: AdMo-Tours Motorcycle Rental in Reykjavik, Iceland - BMW, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Vento, Yamaha
Or you could arrange to fly in your own bike somehow. Or ship it in advance via shipping container on a cargo ship, then meet the bike there. I assume that would be much cheaper.
I don't know. I've just had this on the brain for a long while now. Started looking into the details a little bit tonight. And was curious what other random dream rides people have cooked up in their minds.
P.S. Madagascar is supposed to be amazing too because of the way so much life evolved on it and was removed from everything else around the world for so long. Plus it's purdy.
Also, In most south american countries you can book a bike for 15 days for about $1500. Add in travel and incidentals and that's a $4,000 trip for 15-16 days on a honda 650 duallie. Or smaller, if you are so inclined.
