unlikely touring bikes...a callenge

[Deleted User 62]

howdy, Ive been doing some research.
I am looking for blogs, travel narratives, websites etc of documented motorcycle, scooter, moped road trips. I'm looking for trips done on unlikely machines.....like this one http://mopedtrip.com/index.html
I'm curious about what else is out there. I wanna hear about the oldest, smallest, weirdest, etc....
just curious:)
thanks,
MAtt

I don't know if this fits into your category, but the guys on Top Gear (English Version) did a trip the length of Vietnam on some very used mopeds, with some interesting sidetrips and modifications (they had to convert them to amphibious use at the end). There's probably a YouTube or link on the Top Gear website.

Great link Steve! What a filthy shit hole!

And lots of rules of the road.

Thoses reposted threads gave me joy and inspiration. sold everything except my silver airhead. Divorced my wife. Gave my son some parting words. Now it's time to feel empty in some third world dump while i am waiting for a fed ex package as i contemplate how I screwed up my life. BTW, I am too fat and lazy to do a hand stand, score a few precious moments with a exotic traveling lady, take a couple of good pics or even figure out Internet cafe communication. thanks a lot.

seriously, Thanks. made my week.

When I look to the sky, I remember the Nightrider!

[Jeff in W.C.]

"The Toecutter - he knows who I am. I am the Nightrider! I am the chosen one. The mighty hand of vengeance, sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rollin' dice. Step right up, germ, and watch the kid lay down the rubber road, ride to freedom!"

Pick your ride.... I am partial to Bubbas black and silver bike. (Boy, did I ever want to build one!) Instead I ride a gentlemanly R100CS.

Brings to mind:

'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.'

And no, it is not an exact quote from the Bible. (according to these guys)

I don't know if that YouTube link is valid. I'm at work & I just copied it from the Google search.
