Dreaming is fine, but reality is different. I noticed the story from ADV was posted up of a man riding his dream from England to Afganistan, that's fine, but ey omitted the story of the guy on the same forum who was riding to SA, was inexperienced made a bad decision and ended up not not only paralized but a bad ending beyond that
Motorcycling is inherently more dangerous than driving a car. You have two wheels not four, you have less room for error in everything you do. To top it off in developing countries You contend with all manner of obstacles in the road that require skill and good decision making, something you will lack as a noob.
To make it happen get a bicycle and ride like mad at home, cycling transfers directly over To motorcycling. Take motorcycling classes and pick up a dirt bike to practice with as well. Dirt riders make better motorcyclists as they are used to limited traction and avoiding obstacles. With practice you can make it happen and increase your odds of a fun, successful trip.
