Has anyone been inspired to or do you dream of travveling the world on a motorbike?
I really wanna see the world somehow, but I guess i will have to wait till I win the lottery to fund it.
I'd like to go around the world but I wouldn't be able to handle all those injections you have to have (I'm not a fan of injections).

I drove for 5000 miles around europe in the summer, before I watched the shows. My itinerary was:
UK > France > Belgium > Holland > Germany > Poland > Czech Republic > Austria > Switzerland > France again > Italy and then another month in France.
Awesome and every bit as exciting as the show! During that time I crashed the car twice, went through 4 tyres, got in a fight with a complete stranger and got stopped by the police about 15 times! If you want to travel then do it!
I am not yet finished watchign ther DVDS I watched from where they went to mongolias to the road of bones then stopped, then this afternoon watched from the beginning to where they enter russia after kazakhstan. The story is brilliant especially after they get off the roads. It is so good and even being 14 makes me wanna do the same. Makes you realise theres alot more to the world than america and ibiza etc. I would love to go to russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and places like that and drive through them on a bike like they did. Such nice places have to be visited
shareI would love to do that. The show has also inspired me in another way: all my life I've been scared of motorcycles. My mom used to have one, but we crashed when I was around 3 years old--I still have a scar from that crash--so I haven't liked motorcycles since. However, after seeing "Long Way Round," I would like to try riding motorcycles. In fact, one of my recent dream honeymoons would be riding a motorcycle around Europe with whoever will be my husband.

When was the last time you heard these exact words: You are the sunshine of my life?
Yeah, LWR really inspired me to. My cousin and I (plus our friend who is a filmmaker) are planning on taking a motorcycle trip to all 50 U.S. states. Driving through all 48 continental states, then up through Canada to Alaska, then back down the west coast to southern california, then loading our bikes onto a plane and flying to Hawaii to ride the islands, then back to the mainland to finish the tour. We might end up including all the Canadian provinces too, but we haven't decided yet. The only problem will be coming up with the funding.
shareOoh. That sounds so interesting! You're planning on making a documentary? I'd love to see it!

I'm a complete coward when it comes to motorcycles, but I do plan on trying some kind of round-the-world trip at some point. And next week I'm flying to Mongolia for a holiday! It'll be my first time there, and I'll be in a lot of the same areas that the guys rode through. Can't wait!
shareCool!

I like the idea of fearandloathing72.
To many people think travel and immediatly go to Europe and Asia, etc..etc. I am Canadian and before I think about going to those areas, which don't get me wrong I would love to at some point, I have so much of my own country to see and the rest of North America as well. I would love to do a motocycle or car trip across Canada and all down through America, and I can do it all without having to worry about the nightmarish logistics of visa, travel permits, language barriers, police interferience (and subsiquent bribes), massive cultural differences that carry significant concequences, etc..etc.(which by the way Charlie and Ewan both had a team of planners, liasons, etc and not to mention european citizenship already). I know that people will argue this as all being "part of the adventure" but at the same time it is a lot of hassle and one that I don't need as a rookie traveler. I am sure that at some point I will make my way overseas to do something like this but for my first big trip I think I will be staying in North America...something like a Candadian/American motorcyle trip through all prov/states, or a drive along the entire chain on the rocky mountains, or (and this is one of my top picks) hiking the appalacian trail.
Any of those will get me a great life experience and a ton of fun, not to mention pay tribute to my own homeland.
