Your Bucket List Motorcycle Adventure

I live in Kansas land of 35-45 mph crosswinds, bought a motorcoach to act as home base for the bike to explore different regions on a budget. So bucket list is to eat my way across America at mom & pop restaurants and avoid population centers.
Southern Colorado
Northern New Mexico
Southern Utah and maybe the wassach mountains
Northern California
Montana + Idaho
Old Mexico
Badlands
Rural Cajun country food fest lasting at least three weeks
Maine
Alaska & Canada
Blue ridge parkway and Tail of the Dragon

 

I’ve a few dreams and ideas , but I would really like to go from Murmansk to Vladivostok on my Tiger

 

Would that be the most Northerly and Southerly place in Russia?

 

There's quite a few places still left on my bucket list,top of the list is the Smoky Mountains/Blue Ridge Mountains "Tail Of The Dragon" being the most famous road but there are loads of brilliant roads around that area which look just as good if not better and woudn't be near as busy, i reckon i'd need at least a month though..next on the list is New Zealand again i'd need at least a month there too

 

In honour of the fish and chips thread,I’m going to Whitby !

 

Iv'e got 2,much more chance of doing the 2nd one.1] flying to northern india and getting on an enfield and going across the bottom of the himalayas through nepal,tibet etc.2] fly to seattle and hire a bike and ride down the PCH through san fran,los angeles and ending at Laguna Seca for a WSB race,always wanted to go there.

 

I cannot for the life of me think of anywhere at the moment that lights me up enough to drive me into planning a trip. Inspiration required I guess.....

 

Mine;
A decent sized motorhome (well by UK standards) with a good bike in the back garage (current 765 rs fits the bill). It would be nice if I could fit an off road bike in as well, say a KTM EXC.
Load it all up with activities, fishing gear, mountain bikes, canoes, camping stuff etc. and set off.............. destination wherever I fancy!
Duration unknown!
Probably spend a bit of time in Scotland then nip over to Norway and then head over to Russia.

Mortgage and bills etc. opens my eyes and I'm quickly back to the real world............ 80ll0cks!

 

Got mine sorted.

 

I would like to go to the States and ride, mainly to see where my Maternal Grandmother came from...
Golconda
Illinois

Iceland
Norway
New Zealand

 

Iceland is definitely one on my bucket list.

 

I've been to all of those places .... bar the last four - though I did ride a Gold Wing from Muskegon to Vancouver Island, then down to LA where I left it with my friend.

IMHO the top three in your list should be the top three in your list!

Having been to Guanajuato would make me think twice before going back to Mexico. That's a terrible thing to say - I shouldn't judge a nation for one city and its odd proclivities, but I'd guess that was the final straw for me.

There is enough in the Four Corners region alone to fill a bucket list.

 

No, Ron, nothing to do with donkeys .... least not a far as I know. It was the (to me) entirely distasteful display of mummified corpses and the history behind it that sat rather uncomfortably with my working class upbringing! Well, that and a few other features of Mexico that I just didn't feel the need to consider revisiting at any time in the near future - especially not while there are SO many nice places in the U.S. that I've yet to see.

My 2c.

 

There is enough in the Four Corners region alone to fill a bucket list.

I have been to the Four Corners area a couple of times, and agree that is an interesting and scenic area, my wife has a love of Navajo turquoise jewellery and after reading books about the Navajo Tribal Police, I wanted to visit the area as well, well worth a visit.

 

Pretty much anywhere within "The Golden Circle" centred on Four Corners is worth a visit but the wider region is just so rich in so many things - culture; history; scenery; activities - you name it (unless you name a theme park ) ....... it's a great place.

 

Like Jax in “Sons of Anarchy”. I get it, Ron. I, too, want to die doing something I love and riding motorcycles is at the top of that list. That said, I do have a few bucket list items that I hope to get to before that happens.

 

My husband and I dream and scheme about motorcycle bucket list trips regularly! Some of the trips already mentioned by others are ones that we've been blessed to be able to have done, Colorado and northern New Mexico in particular. In the U.S. we'd like to do more routes in Colorado and repeat some of our favorites!. Riding in the mountain of Colorado is an astounding experience.

Other dream trips in the US include the Pacific Coast Highway in California from Santa Barbara north through San Francisco into the Wine Country; Bryce, Zion, and Canyonlands National Parks in Utah; and the Natchez Trace from Jackson, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. We'd also like to ride in the Canadian Rockies.

Probably our biggest bucket list dream trip destination is Spain but we're not sure where in Spain would be the best for riding. The southern coast? The northern mountains? Both?! Any recommendations would be most welcome!

Finally, after being involved on this forum for the past several months, I'd love to ride in the UK and Ireland. We'd just need to figure out the dry(est) time of the year.
