Which Continent would you MOST prefer to ride your ST?
« on: March 05, 2012, 01:34:09 PM »
Hmmm... Germany looks fantastic, but I wouldn't want to miss Switzerland or Banff, Lake Louise, Crater Lake, the Moors, Scotland, Amalfi Coast .....      :think1 :think1

Okay - I'm in for US/Canada.

You?

I would love to ride around Oz, but I selected Asia, cos I reckon it would be great if I could take the ST to Thailand to ride it there, instead of little step thru's

Why don't you think about going to Thailand for a holiday or something. Weather should be reasonable in April!

With ST and trailer in tow I'd like to ride from Singapore to India. No set route, no set time, maybe return via Nepal, Tibet and through China and the smaller countries back to Singapore.

Hmmm...  :think1

Britain is great for riding, but I've been all over there.  I'm gonna miss it but it wouldn't be the first place I'd choose now.

The Nordics look great for scenery, but from what I have heard the speed limits are tightly enforced so it might be a bit short on thrills. 

I would go for southern Europe, but add in Germany and France - maybe head out to Eastern Europe too. 

Don't really fancy USA/Canada.

I intend to get around as much of Oz as I can while I am here.

I reckon everyone who selects another country should ride their and like forever cause???????? those that ride Australia know their is no where better. I have ridden from the top to the bottom and a hell of a lot of places in between and still every adventure is great and no matter how many times the Highways the same, their is still a heap to see, people to meet and rivers and oceans to swim naked in :runyay

The ST has to stay on tarmac... Oz, UK, or North America (or all 3!). However, my real desire is almost-but-not-quite the Long Way Round.... I don't think I'm confident enough with the ST somewhere in Mongolia.

I absolutely love and appreciate our great country and love riding here. However we have toured extensively through Europe, always driving a hire car and I have always thought how lovely it would be to be riding a bike (read ST1300). When we stop I usually talk to any motorcycle riders in the vicinity and it is amazing how far from home a lot of them are. My best mate keeps a bike in Ireland at his sister in laws home and every year he and his wife spend 6 - 8 weeks riding through Europe. I have not gone with them as yet as my wife does not ride. She has given me a leave pass but I would feel guilty going overseas for that long without her. Maybe it will happen....

Every time I see the USA and Canada especially the mountains I think how great it would be to do a riding holiday.
Maybe a trip to New Zealand would be close.
