Haven't had a bike in 25 years, but...
I have managed to get free. Not rich, by any means, but I have time to travel. And, I am cosidering buying a bike and going from Oklahoma to Malaysia.
The route that includes the Alaska to Russia trip seems the best...a shorter trans-continental leap. While I have not owned a bike for quite a while, I have ridden some from time to time, and I feel comfortable with the idea of indefinite travel. (As a lad, "Then Came Bronson" was my favorite TV show...LOL ) While I know people have managed to ride Harleys around the world, it would not be my first choice. But, I am curious regarding feedback about "cruiser" bikes vs. the dual purpose on-off road bikes. My international travel has never put me in seriously remote areas, and I wonder if the roads in Russia and China would be un-manageable on something like a Honda Shadow. And, is a trailer a bad idea? My alternative is a 32 foot sailboat I have been negotiating a price on. If anyone is interested in going along, we can always buy some bikes in Asia... Thanks, Terry |
Coincidence!

It's funny you mentioned "Then Came Bronson" because around an hour ago, at the same time you posted, I was reading about Harley Sportsters and read about the show for the first time. So twice in one night now. I don't think we had the series in the UK; although, of course, I'm too young to really remember... From the write-up it sounds a bit like 'Kung Fu' on wheels. Should I check it out on DVD (and buy a Harley)? Stephan |
