I dont know. The Americas are pretty simple, for me anyway. No carnets, few visas depending on your passport. Pretty much prep the bike, get your kit together and take off. Its pretty simple. I met a guy on a Harley that didnt even have maps or a GPS and minimal parts and tool kit. He literally got on his bike and took off a couple weeks after he decided to do the trip.
I think the amount of prep depends on what kind of person you are.
So for the Americas its pretty much just take off IMO. I did the real planning for my trip a few weeks in advance and even that was overkill.
I'm with you on the group ride thing Ted. I would rather staple baloney to my face.
