Is RTW travel by motorcycle worth it?
Hi Folks,
Realize this posting might draw a variety of responses/reactions. Will try to clarify my question.
Background: I like motorcycling. I've ridden across/around North America several times, Western Europe, and Northern Thailand.
However, a RTW trip by motorcycle seems to add complexity and expense. Am thinking mainly of the extra paperwork (carnet) in the planning phase and border crossings during execution. Motorcycle travel limits when I can visit certain areas based on weather/temperature/road conditions. Also the risk of breakdowns, accidents, and theft.
Am curious to know how folks who've done RTW trips by motorcycle have dealt with these issues, particularly the additional paperwork and expense.
BTW - the alternative would be for me to fly to each continent and travel between towns via bus, train, etc.
