We have sorted our transportation. Would be nice to see more GTA motorcycle folk out there!

Anyone planning to attend the Horizons Unlimited Ontario Meeting 2012 next weekend (September 20-23, 2012)? Why come? I'll be going with my wife, but due to registration problems with the bike (still foreign plated, am not allowed to drive it), we will need to find different means to go up...

Thanks for the feedback. And interesting to see more companies offering similar, yet distinctly different trips as well. The initial thought is not to set up trips in North America due to the proximity, but if demand has it, I will gladly help in organising motorcycle trips in this neck of the...

They will be significantly lower. The bikes are well taken care of, plus there is support vehicle with a technician to help with any problems that might arise. Mind you, BMW's are wonderful bikes to drive, but trying to get spare parts and/or it fixed in the middle of the bush is not an easy...

Thanks for your input! 1 - definitely! We strive to make the destinations more than worthwhile. Mountain villages in North Vietnam, for instance, and Kashmir in India. To name but a few. Strong preference for places which are not yet overrun with tourists and prove to be memorable destinations...

Salar de Uyuni is amazing! Check out the gallery here.

Don't worry, I will provide my own funds! No stalking of people on the forum, just very much interested in each of your opinions! The only time you bring funding is when you decide to take part in a trip!

Vehicle & accident insurance would be included. Actually, in most countries insurance is way cheaper than in the Western world. During my world trip, we got insurance on-the-fly and was usually pennies. Only when driving in Europe, USA and Canada did the premiums go up! (for example, insurance...

Several years back I took part in an organized motorcycle tour of Indonesia and loved it. More recent, I undertook my own trip across 30 countries for 14 months, and loved that even more. The reason my first big trip was with an organized one was because of my inexperience as a mechanic... I...

What do you know... I thought it was so quiet, since the forum didn't send me any emails on replies being sent. But I guess that's not the default setting. Thanks all for the well-wishes! It's been quite busy the past few weeks, we arrived in TO a month ago, all went well, well, apart from our...

Hello everyone! We're about to complete a 14-month motorcycle tour on our 2009 BMW F800GS from Abu Dhabi, UAE (Middle East) via London, UK, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ushuaia, Argentina all the way up through South and Central America to.... Toronto! 65,000km. Quite the trip! Well, almost...
