I was chatting with a mate, Paul today about motorcycle group tours.
This subject made me think of bucket lists.
There are people who want to climb mountains on the motorcycles or normally someone else's which they have rented as you should always save your own 'cause it is your own.
Others travel the furtherest distance from home and then make their way back, either they way they went or continue in the same direction. The benefit of living on a sphere.
Yet others battle through jungles to find ancient civilizations or remnants of them.
A bit like Indiana Jones mixing motorcycling with ancient civilizations but the only prize these people get is self gratification. a noble cause indeed and the purpose of said bucket list.
So where's this rambling going?
Paul is doing work with what I would call an adventure motorcycle travel company.
Compass Expeditions. I have had a look at their website www.compassexpeditions.com and I almost hear 'the calling' and the enlarging of my bucket.
This brings about another question. Its it better to travel in an organised group or go feral on your own or at least with a mate?
As most of my mates nowadays have trouble swing a spanner / wrench as technology profounds them, I personally would take my adventure with a safety net.
So, I am a Groupie if its into the completely 'Out There' category with one of the Compass Expeditions is.
Its the 'Road of Bones' as seen on the Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor 'Long way Round'.
Have a look at the Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor's trip, here's the trailer, www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-0uBcnmE2M and then the Compass Expeditions one www.compassexpeditions.com/tour/major-expeditions/road-of-bones-london-to-magadan/and you will get the picture I am painting.
So now we come back to Paul. He likes his adventure, he rides with me and I have been known to take the wrong turn, not according to Garmin but to my riding companions as we discovered ourselves on a dirt road and Paul did not complain, too loudly as he had his helmet on.
Paul is a Travel Agent and with his interest and background, when you contact him to book one of those Compass Expeditions adventures, he will knows what you are saying and even speaks 'motorcyclist'.
For details of Paul, link to the Ride the World (Aust) Website http://ridetheworld.com.au/wp/compass-expeditions/ and your next journey has began.
Send me photos and some stories if you do one of the trips and I promise to post it.
'til next time.
Enjoy the Ride called life.
