Motorcycle Travel - Trip Planning

We'll help you prepare for a trip yourself, whether it's just a few hundred kilometers - or miles - away, the next country, or even around the world. We provide information which is specific to motorcycle travel, and particularly long-distance / life on the road type travel, and link to sites with general information on travel. Current information includes: Why go?, Choosing a bike, Paperwork, Shipping the bike, Border crossings, Living on the Road, Safety and Health on the Road, and Organised tours.

Stories from intrepid motorcycle adventurers all over the world...

We want YOUR motorcycle travel story, whether it's around the world or a once-in-a-lifetime trip to anywhere. Here on the world's most popular motorcycle travel website, you'll get a lot more readers than in some obscure corner of the web. And with our 'blogging' software you can easily update it yourself from anywhere. Readers can sign up for notifications when you post a new entry. Get your own free blog travel story page if you don't have a web site (or you're tired of maintaining your own).
