Bonjour, j'envisage un voyage moto en juillet 2007 jusqu'au Cap Nord, en Norvège. Nous serons 2 avec ma fille sur un transalp, au minimum puisque nous pouvons nous joindre à d'autres motos ayant un projet similaire. Je suis preneur de conseils et autres infos sur le trajet, si vous l'avez déjà fait. Merci

Bonjour,
Je suis allé au Cap Nord l'année dernière, en Juillet aussi, j'étais seul sur ma BM - coté route c'est du billard jusqu'au Cap, parfaitement gourdonnée - coté essence aucun problème non plus - Je suis passé par le Danemark, Suède, pour rejoindre la Norvège à Trondheim - le Sud je connaissais déja -tu trouveras toujours une station ouverte dans la quelle on peut y manger et faire ses courses, c'est pratiquement un petit super marché - coté moustiques dur dur, le soir au camping (en plein jour quand même) j'ai acheté les produits sur place très efficaces et aussi un filet de tête qui est en vente partout - je n'ai fait que du camping qui sont très bien pourvus mais chers. le tunnel qui arrive au Cap a un prix exhorbitant mais obligatoire - il ya des radars sur les routes même secondaires des petites boites grises perchées sur des poteaux à 3 m de haut mais tous de face donc... Les norvégiens roulent très calmement et doucement, ils respectent les limitations - pas beaucoup vu de Police sur les routes. Un conseil essaie de revenir par la Finlande - pays vraiment différent de la Norvège - moins cher et en zone euro - j'ai pris le bateau à Helsinki - ville très sympa pour Rostok en Allemagne - en gros la Suède et la Norvège sont des pays chers, essence, denrées, camping etc...la Finlande beaucoup plus abordable et les gens super sympas, plus "nature".
Voilà sinon super voyage avec en prime plein de motards sur les route donc jamais seul.
Bonne route

Bonjour et Merci Liona,
Ton message donne envie, c'est clair, je pensais effectivement rentrer par le Finlande histoire de changer de paysage. Peux-tu me dire s'il y a des réservations à prévoir (bateau notamment) ou si tout peut s'acheter sur place ? Globalement tu as mis combien de temps ? Et sur un mois quelle est la proportion temps de route/visites qu'il faut prévoir? Vaut-il mieux trainer en route ou prévoir du temps au cap ?
Merci a+

Bonjour,
Si vraiment tu veux en profiter, ne vas pas au Cap Nord, mais file sur Vardo et Kirkenes.

Bonjour,
Concernant les réservations pas de problème si tu prends un siège "avion" - le moins cher - (je crois que c'était la compagnie Superfast - c'est la seule qui rejoint Rostok) c'est ce que j'ai fait avec mon matelas gonflant, et j'étais pas le seul nous avons passé une super nuit sur la moquette - par contre la bouffe est chère - prévoir avant de monter dans le bateau - Sinon les camping en Suède ont la même gueule que les campings en Norvège - aller aux Lofoten c'est super et comme il fait jour la nuit on n'arrive pas à stopper la machine, là bas je n'ai fait que du Camping sauvage au bord de l'eau avec le soleil de minuit. Il ya beaucoup de motos sur les routes et aussi des campings car; C'est vrai que le Cap Nord est très "touristes" mais c'est la Cap Nord !!!!. Sur place à part la vue c'est bingo pour le porte monnaie, tout est trois fois plus cher que le reste qui est dejà deux fois plus cher qu'en France. A part des cartes postales et des photos à prendre faut laisser le reste. Par contre la route est super et très peu de traffic. En Finlande changement de paysage et d'atmosphère, les gens sont plus ouverts et souriants - c'est plus "cheap" et plus sympa surtout dans les campings ou ils font la fête toute la nuit en plein jour. La vie est moins chère, l'essence aussi, les routes c'est du billard avec des rennes au milieu qui se baladent. La région de Ivalo est à visiter sinon le seul camping d'Helsinki est immense et super équipé. J'ai mis 3 semaines pour faire le voyage - je suis un gros rouleur. Je n'ai pas calculé le temps route/visite mais il ya des villes ou sites à ne pas manquer comme Trondheim, les Lofoten, la route du Cap, Tromso, Oslo, Lillehammer et sa région et en Finlande la route du Centre qui va de Kuusamo à Kuopio, Kippeli et enfin Helsinki (ville très sympa). pour le siège avion j'ai acheté le billet deux jours avant le départ car je voulais rentrer par les Etats Baltes mais à cause de manque de temps j'ai du changer.
Voilà
Voilà
Salu l'ami.

Bonsoir,
Je suis passé 3 ou 4 fois en Finlande, dont deux en moto... Il y a longtemps, certes... Mais franchement je n'en ai pas gardé un souvenir formidable..... C'est droit, monotone, plat, et envahi par les moustiques... Je ne suis pas sûr que ce soit le paradis du motard.....

Bonjour Serge!
Proposition sympa, très sympa, j'aimerais effectivement y aller à plusieurs même si les étapes ne sont pas exactement les mêmes on peut se croiser à différents endroits et faire des bouts de chemin ensemble. Cela dit, je pars le lundi car retour maxi 31 juillet, boulot oblige...
Quant au trajet, ce n'est pas encore défini pour moi, le retour par la Finlande reste une question vu les avis partagés.
Je prends une carte pour approfondir le sujet, voir ce qui peut coîncider et je reviens. C'est quoi la date du rassemblement GW Norvège ?

Salut Routarde59, je veux bien des infos sur la Finlande. Vous y allez quand exactement ?
Salut Domroler,
Pour la Finlande, nous n'y avons passé que 3 jours au retour du Cap Nord. Mais quels 3 jours !! C'était GEANT. Tout comme j'aime !!! Cette destination est sur notre liste pour l'avenir. Cette année ce sera les Dolomites.
Bons préparatifs !!

En fait je suis passé deux fois en moto en Finlande par le passé, et outre le fait d'avoir mangé des tonnes de moustiques, je me suis beaucoup... embêté. Je suis un peu curieux de savoir ce qui vous plait tant sur les routes de ce pays.

Pour te répondre rapidement, nous avons loué une cabane de pêcheur !! une vraie comme dans la chanson. Nous y avons rencontré des gens absolument géniaux qui nous ont fait découvrir le vrai sauna finlandais (dans une cabane chauffée à 80 °, puis plongeon dans la rivière en contrebas), nous y avons mangé du poisson excellent....Moi ça me suffit déjà !! 😉😉

Ah.... Alors ce n'est pas le plaisir des routes... Je comprends mieux 😏. Le poisson, je ne l'ai pas trouvé fameux, mais j'ai des critères de choix élevés dans ce domaine.

Hello everyone! ✌️
I just realized I’ve been registered on VoyageForum since... March 28, 2012 😊. Yet, I’ve barely participated until now.
August 1, 2026, will mark a somewhat special milestone: 5 years on the road.
We left Switzerland on August 1, 2021 with a simple idea: let chance decide our direction. We placed a bottle of wine on a world map, spun it... and it chose our first destination.
A year later, when we arrived in Morocco, we faced a new choice: continue toward Africa or head to Asia. This time, a tarot card game made the decision. Since then, we’ve tried to keep this journey as open to the unexpected as possible.
Today, that adds up to about 120,000 km, 46 countries, and over 1,800 days on the road—mostly by motorcycle, but also by sailboat, train, bus, hitchhiking, or on foot when adventure calls.
Our guiding thread isn’t just the motorcycle, but service exchanges. Instead of simply passing through countries, we try to stop regularly to lend a hand to the people we meet. So far, that’s about 600 days of volunteering.
Over the years, we’ve:
renovated a house in Croatia made earth bricks in the Moroccan desert helped sail a boat through the Greek islands looked after houses, dogs, horses, a camel... and lots of other animals worked at a street art festival in Morocco created videos for local associations and projects worked the grape harvest on the Tibetan plateau been accredited as "media" for the World Nomad Games in Central Asia
Some of the moments that have stuck with us the most include six months in China, a night spent on the Great Wall, the Pamir Highway, the Silk Road, three months in Taiwan, and the incredible encounters in the mountains of Central Asia.
We travel on Falkor, our lucky dragon—a 2014 BMW F800GS that’s been with us since the start and is starting to have some great stories of its own.
While we share our adventure on Instagram, Polarsteps, and YouTube, that’s not why we’re here. The forum’s rules about promotion are clear, and I totally get them. If I’m finally taking the time to write, it’s mostly because after five years on the road, I thought our experience might be useful to other travelers.
Happy to chat about:
preparing for a long motorcycle trip visas and borders the Silk Road and Central Asia riding in China (with or without a motorcycle) volunteering and service exchanges while traveling gear, daily life on the road... or just the unexpected moments that make long-term travel so special
Looking forward to swapping stories and hearing about your adventures too! 😊 Greetings from Thailand, and happy to chat! ✌️

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.
Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.
This trip requires experience with long motorcycle journeys, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on sightseeing and time spent).
I don’t expect dozens of applicants, since motorcycle riders are few and far between on this forum, but I’m putting this out there anyway.
See you soon

Hi everyone,
I’m starting to think about a trip that’s really close to my heart: Algeria by motorcycle, specifically the southern part of the country. It’d be for January 2025, and I’ve got two main questions:
Is it possible for an individual on a motorcycle to travel freely, outside of any organized tour, or does the regulation require some kind of supervision in the Algerian Sahara region?
Is the Hoggar massif accessible by road or by (rideable) tracks?
Beyond the official recommendations, I’m really looking for your firsthand experiences. Thanks so much for your answers, and sorry if my questions are a bit newbie!
Ride safe! ✌️ Didier

Hi, I’d like to take a 15-day "break" to get away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Why not explore the Peloponnese!
I’m not particularly drawn to museums, ruins, or monuments.
I want to experience local life—small villages, seaside spots, beaches, and the interior if the landscapes are extraordinary.
Ideally, coming from Athens, I’d take a bus or train to get as close as possible to a starting point, then rent a scooter (125cc) to explore by taking secondary roads or even coastal paths. I’d stay in 2-3 places for a few days each to discover their surroundings.
Do a loop.
What do you think would be the ideal itinerary?
From Athens, the best option would be to take either a flight or a bus to Kalamata. Rent a scooter and head either west or east. Is there a tertiary road (very lightly trafficked) or a path where I can ride slowly, take it easy, and enjoy the scenery without being bothered by traffic? I’d like to go all the way to Monemvasia, still hugging the coast. I need to find a way to avoid returning to Kalamata to drop off the scooter and catch a flight—maybe a small town where the train stops so I can head back to Athens.
Thanks in advance for your tips.
Hi!
I want to rent an off-road style motorcycle to get around the coast during my trip to Ecuador. I’m only finding options in Quito. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Hi there,
I’m planning a sidecar trip to South America for 4 or 5 months at the end of this year.
I’m looking for info on shipping my vehicle by sea—possibly to Uruguay or another destination, as I haven’t finalized anything yet.
How do you get visas for the countries I’ll be crossing: Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile? Are they e-Visas, obtained at the border, or through embassies?
Where can I get vehicle insurance?
Lastly, if any bikers want to join us (my partner and me), we’re open to that possibility too.

Hi, I’m planning to head to Morocco in early May on my 1200 RT. I’ll be leaving from Dax to Kenitra—happy to ride together if anyone’s up for it!
Hey everyone,
I’ve got 15 days off in June and I’m pretty undecided about where to go for a motorcycle road trip. Two strong desires are pulling me in different directions: Corsica or Norway.
Corsica has been a dream of mine for a long time: legendary roads, stunning landscapes, a unique vibe, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains. At the same time, I’m wondering if 2 weeks might be *too much* for Corsica—risking feeling like I’ve seen it all too quickly, especially on a bike. Since I also have an extra week free in May, I could use that specifically for Corsica. Maybe splitting it into two trips would make more sense? If so, which routes or regions would be the most interesting to plan for a 7-day trip?
On the other hand, Norway is *super* appealing. The landscapes look incredible, totally different from anything I’ve experienced, and it’d be a real “wow” trip. I know 15 days is still short for such a vast country. Getting all the way to the North Cape seems pretty much impossible in that time, but I’m curious about what realistic routes could be planned.
So I’m wondering: Is it better to save Norway for next year, take 3 weeks off, and do it *properly*? Or are 15 days enough for a first amazing taste of the country?
I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether it’s Corsica (ideal duration, routes) or Norway (what’s realistic in 2 weeks on a bike). Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used small motorcycle to travel around the country for a month and a half.
I've done this in other countries without putting the registration in my name—is that possible in Guinea given the apparently frequent checks, or do I have to go through the paperwork?
Thanks.
Hello,
My dream is to ride Route 66 by motorcycle. I have a disability—while I’m not in a wheelchair, my walking mobility is reduced.
The ideal scenario would be to have a motorcycle driver and ride as their passenger on an organized trip.
Are there any guides or services like this offered by travel agencies?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hello,
I’ve got a plan with a friend to go on a motorcycle road trip in 2028 or 2029, starting in Santiago de Chile and ending in Ushuaia, for about a month.
Has anyone done a trip like this before, and what’s the best time of year?
I’ve heard there can be quite a bit of wind depending on the season.
Thanks for any tips!

I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys
It's all in the title: I'm heading to Krabi soon and want to rent a scooter for a few weeks, but after reading comments about all kinds of scams, I'm reaching out to ask where and how (read: *the right way*) to rent one.

Hello everyone! Like every year, a winter migration is on the horizon (revised plan): this time, it’ll be Dakar, or even Abidjan, via Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
Looking for an experienced motorcyclist or pillion rider—small build preferred—on a GSA 1250 with a comfy seat and luggage setup, available from early November to late December 2025. I’d like to plan the trip together (important to me) to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Hi everyone...
Looking for travel companions to ride from France to Senegal by motorcycle.
I’m Paul, 37, and I’ve already done a bit of riding in Morocco.
For now, I’m solo, riding a 1998 SUZUKI DR 650 with some basic gear to keep things smooth. I’ll have a tent so we can do a few nights under the stars. We’ll need to coordinate departure dates—"ideally in November."
I’m currently checking out routes to take. Any tips would be welcome! :)
Have a great day, everyone!!!!!

Hi there!
I’m heading to Vietnam and Laos with a buddy next week for a month. We’re thinking of renting motorbikes, especially to do the Ha Giang Loop. We don’t have an international license, just our Belgian one. Is that enough? If not, is it risky?
Thanks for the info! !

Hi there,
In January 2026, I’m planning a motorbike trip through northern Vietnam for 3–4 weeks.
Must-dos: Hanoi, RC4, Dien Bien Phu, and of course the must-see landscapes.

Hi everyone,
In November, we’re planning to do the Ha Giang loop and the RC4 by motorbike without a guide. 😎 We’re looking for a decent place to stay/rent in Ha Giang.
If anyone has any info, we’d be really interested.
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ladava

Hello! We’re planning a motorcycle trip that will include a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 2026.
We’re unsure (still debating) whether we should stay at a hotel on-site and get to the memorial with an Uber (leaving our bikes at the hotel) and book a guided tour, or base ourselves in Kraków and take a tour that includes transport.
One thing’s for sure—we’d prefer a guide in French since we don’t speak English 😅.
Could you share your experiences or advice? I understand we need to book online rather than on-site. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hello,
Next October we’re planning to ride the Ruta de la Plata by motorcycle—a historic Spanish route that runs from Gijón to Seville, also known as the N630.
Has anyone here already ridden it?
Unfortunately, I’m worried that parts of the N630 may have disappeared or merged with the A66 motorway, forcing us to ride long stretches of highway, which we’d rather avoid.
Thanks in advance for any tips or details about this route!

I’m currently planning a 9-day route starting from Marrakech with my husband. We land on the morning of June 13th—so soon! 😊
And we’re flying back to France on June 21st at 9 PM!
We’ve rented two Royal Enfield 450s.
This is our first motorcycle trip in Morocco. I got my license two years ago with the dream of taking this kind of trip, and here we are! ✌️😍
In France, we usually ride between 300 to 400 km per day on roadsters. We’re not used to off-road tracks, so we’re looking for easy ones 😅—especially for me 😅.
For Morocco, I’ve planned stages of 200 to 300 km per day. Here’s the idea: Day 1 (departure at noon): Marrakech - Tizi n Test - Tafingoult (165 km - 4h15) Day 2: Tafingoult - Amzarkou - Telouet (200 km - 4h34) Day 3: Telouet - Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - Boumalne (200 km - 3h30) (+ Vallée des Roses maybe) Day 4: Boumalne - Dades Gorges - Agoudal - Todra Gorges - Tinghir - Goulmima (291 km - 6h) Day 5: Goulmima - Midelt - Cirque Jaffar - Agoudim (280 km - 4h45) Day 6: Agoudim - Imilchil - Aghbala - El Ksiba (280 km - 4h45) Day 7: El Ksiba - La Cathédrale - Zaouiat Ahansal (212 km - 4h20) Day 8: Ahansal - Ouzoud Waterfalls via R 302 (188 km - 4h22) Day 9: Ouzoud - Marrakech (160 km - 2h43) End of the trip 😮.
What do you think?
We haven’t booked any hotels—is that a problem? We were thinking of deciding day by day based on our progress.
Can we take our helmets with us in the cabin, or should we pack them in the checked luggage surrounded by clothes to avoid damage?
I’d love any tips! 😊 Thanks!

Hey there, fellow riders,
I’m really keen on a motorcycle trip to Morocco, specifically the Middle Atlas. Does anyone have any info or tips on this idea? Planning to go in September or October...
Looking forward to hearing from you!
