Brilliant question..!
I did my first trip when i was 16 on my 125cc, about 2 years from now.
At the time i think i jut was eager to test my new 125.
But as i came back from the 5 day trip i felt sad and wanted back out on the road..
I've started planing i wanted to see the world i wanted to do something that i could tell stories about when i grew up.
Wanted to see the world beyond the city i'd grew up in and test myself.
As it turns out i did make it, meet a whole bunch of new people, some of them who i got to be real friends with. And i got memories for atleast a bit of my lifetime!
At the end of the summer i had done 6,000km and 20 days through Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The greatest thing tough was that i'd encouraged a whole lot of other kids to do the same, which resulted in 6 travel buddies to Norway!
Summary!
Memories
Meet people and their culture
See magnificent nature
Brag your ass of when you get home!
What i usally say is (when someone is asking): I think it's fun
Cause i don't wanna sound chessy
