I might just have to steal some of yours...
ReplyDeleteThat's ok mate, I stole some of these as well.
DeleteYou going to live to 140 or so?
ReplyDeleteI might have to, to complete this list....
DeleteExcellent list. Some I will have look up as they aren't familiar. But you can kill two birds with one stone...come stay here, Dragon is only 1 1/2 hours away, with great roads in between. Then you can scoot on down to bike week. :)
ReplyDeleteIf only I had the time and the money and I'd be right there.
DeleteThat's definitely some good reason to live to 140. Been in some of these places but not always on a bike. Not sure if going 300 kph on a German Autobahn will be such a good idea, you would have to do it at night to get some light traffic, and still be likely chased by some small car wanting to go faster... ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut as for the Black Forest... I might be able to assist with that.
Your probably right, I'd be doing 300 and some smart ass in their maranello marvel would come zooming past bloody fast.
DeleteIf i'm in your neck of the woods so to speak I'll look you up.
Some more easily achieved than others in terms of cost and time needed. However, I'd settle for a good long touring trip within Oz - maybe up the East Coast from Vic to Cairns (no interest in doing a lap of Oz on the bike though). Must say that I'm VERY tempted to do a ride day at Phillip Island as a couple of my mates have done.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jules.
Mate you could spend weeks on a trip like that, It would be a fun trip thats for sure. A full lap of Oz would be pretty boring really. Mmm ride day you say.......watch this space.
DeleteHmmm, that is quite the list. Some I've heard of, some I haven't.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how many are on my bucket list, but I know there are a few, I've just never written them down.
It's pretty easy to start a big list once you put your mind to it. I had to limit this one down quite a bit.
DeleteSteve:
ReplyDeleteImpressive list. Let us know when you get over here and maybe we could tag along. Too bad most of us are limited by both time and money
bob: riding the wet coast
Mate
DeleteThe time and money are not just limited to you, as this is my main draw back which will be the reason most of my bucket list will probably go unfinished. So my aim is to achieve the easy to tick off items first and see whats left(all the expensive ones my wife won't let me do. Might have to divorce her). Oops hope she's not reading this.
Great list!. Some excellent riding there :)
ReplyDeletesome great rides you have on the list
ReplyDeletea few ticked off so far and am sure you will get some of the others done easily
one i would love to do would be the canada/ alaska area
Great list buddy. I also did some of this. Hope we can go out again. Keep adding. :)
