The "forget it" response was mostly incomprehensible, but then again so was the original question. What's "dull?" What's not? Stuff I find mainly quite boring (Kansas, Manitoba, Western Sahara, much of Ukraine, most of central Australia, long stretches through Patagonia) you might go wild over.

Thx Mark, that’s what I meant. Sometimes there are long stretches to take if you go somewhere to find a nice ride. And a nice ride is very subjective as well. Even the Nullarbor (longest straight stretch in AU, 1000km asphalt dead straight...) to go from Western Australia to the South can be a nice ride as soon as you leave the highway and take some excursions. There are nice things to see and do right and left from the HW.
I should have written instead of "Forget it": IMHO In my opinion it is very hard to circumnavigate our planet nowadays without crashing into civilization from time to time, and most of the time it means to take some asphalt in between. It´s like going around the planed on a boat, sometimes you have to cross the oceans in between to see the nice spots on new foreign lands.
So no offence Chris to the tracks you mentioned b4. Just to combine all of them without 100km asphalt in between is a very hard task to do I think.
