For anyone interested in serious motorcycle adventure travel I suggest following the ongoing tales of Simon and Lisa Thomas. This couple has been riding around the world for about six years and are still going. They have a great web site at: http://www.2ridetheworld.com. I heard them speak in New Hampshire a little more than a year ago while they were touring the U.S. It was an afternoon I will never forget. They are talented story tellers and take breathtaking photographs.
You can also post on my new motorcycle blog, http://www.tyleryandowmotorcycleworld.wordpress.com.

Well Bob I personally liked your rant, the “how to” often leaves me confused and wondering how to put it all together in a picture in my mind. Your “rant” gave me the framework and now I can go to the how to with much more confidence.

Oh I adore motorcycles and I do wish I had the courage to take my vacations by bike! I am afraid though that I am limited to just my scooter to travel in my local area. Oh well, it is better than a push bike.
