Daft things

Have you ever had any thoughts of doing really out the box on a bike?

Ride a BMW C1 to north cape or ride a scooter in the dunes in morocco or take goldwing somewhere off road?

I'm just looking for a few ideas of silly trips that may be doable and must be fun.

There was, around somewhere on the internet, a blog of a bloke who rode a cvt moped the length of New Zealand, and I have to admit I was weirdly jealous of him - it seems that he had enough time to take in all the sights

Yeh, Ive seen those and the one to ride form cape town to north cape on a sccoter, also the C90 to north Africa.

I think I am gtting a bit bored of normal biking and just looking for another FUN way riding. I took a Honda CRf 230 for a 100 miile plus run around the b roads of Wales and had a ball. No speed, no acceceration, no adrenaline, but had a great time and got to chat with a few interesting people.

Last year I rode through France to Spain with out using the Auto-routes and it was more enjoyable than the offroading in the Pryenees.

Just looking for some inpiration!!!

My brother and I are thinking about JoG to LE on a pair of monkey bikes some time next year as a bit of a publicity stunt for his business - MBC



Shame he sold the hard-tail chopper he built earlier this year - that would have made the trip properly mad with its 13" seat height
