I will be riding a Honda Goldwing so I need some form of hard stable surface.
I would really appreciate it if any of you could let me know the road quality.
Hard earth sand and loose stones are no good on the goldwing.
Thanks for your time.

You can enter the Kurdish regions of Iraq (KRG) without an Iraqi visa, but you must stay in kurdish-controlled areas.
There has recently been an attack on Kurdish forces by the Iranians from across the border. This happened in Koya (roughly halfway between Erbil and Sulaymaniyah). Something to monitor. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-m...-idUSKCN1LO0KZ
