Bonjour à tous,
nous comptons aller 15 jours en juillet en Auvergne et en provence. Nous roulons en kawa VN900. Nous comptons prendre une tente. On part de Belgique. On ne veut pas trop se charger, qu'est-ce qui est indispensable? J'ai reçu plein de documentations des offices de tourisme, qu'est-ce qui faut pas rater?

Salut,
Dis moi, je me pose une question ou penses tu mettre le matos de camping sur une kawa VN900 ? Il faut vraiment un stricte minimum à savoir au moins pour faire son café le matin, la tente, sac de couchage, rechange en fring, serviettes de bain (ok ça peut faire serviette de toilette !) le minimum pour la toilette, prévoir combinaisons de pluie, une bâche plastique qui peu servir à bien des choses, bref même en y mettant le stricte minimum je ne pense pas que cela puisse le faire :( et crois moi suis pas du genre "négatif". En 2005 j'ai fait le tour de France, 3 semaines 3700 km et franchement c'était pas le luxe en camping juste ce qu'il faut pour le confort mimni sans parler galère.
Je joins une photo de ma BM 1150RT si tu la visualise pas dis le moi je te l'enverrai sur ta boite perso pour que tu te fasse une idée.
Amitié d'un motard... Phil

Bonjour
Je suis d'accord avec PhilFR17 en ce qui concerne le matos. Je pars régulièrement avec ma femme pour des périodes de 15 jours. Comme lui ma bécane est archi-bourrée. J'ai une PAN 1300 qui accepte beaucoup de bagages et je ne vois pas comment tu peux charger ta VN900 du matos équivalent.
Sinon pour les endroits sympas en fonction de ton itinéraire prévisionnel et de ce que tu connais déjà, je pense que tu ne manqueras pas de motards pour te donner des idées. N'hésite pas à demander.

Merci pour ta réponse. On compte mettre 2 sacoches sur le coté et une derrière. On accrocherait la tente et les sacs de couchage au-dessus. ok pour la bâche en plastique. Minimum de vêtements. Je pense que je vais faire une liste de ce qu'on doit abslument emporter et on pourra imaginer le volume que ça prendrait. C'est notre premier voyage, bien sûr c'est l'inconnu mais on va se lancer. On pourra ainsi améliorer pour le futur.

Bonjour et merci pour ta réponse. Avec mon mari on vient de se dire qu'une autre alternative serait de loger en formule 1 . De plus on comptait faire une étape à Lapalisse dans l'Allier chez une amie. De là on pourrait faire l'Auvergne quelques jours et loger chez elle. Au point de vue du coût, c'est à étudier aussi car le matos de camping on ne l'a pas encore acheté.
Krystal et Gillou
Oui ça serait une solution pour limiter le chargement, reste aussi les chambre d'hôtes. De plus j'ai oublié une choses loin d'être négligeable "il faut prévoir des chaussures en plus" l'équipement moto c'est pas trop le top une fois cette dernière débéquillé 😎
Pensez aussi à mettre sous sac étanche tout ce qui risque la prise d'eau, perso j'avais opté pour des sacs à "gravas" bien plus épais que des sacs poubelles la fermeture étant assuré par de petites sangles.
Voili voilou... A+... Phil

Si tu veux j'ai une liste de référence qui me permet de ne rien oublier. Je peux te la passer en mail.

Bonjour,
pour moi, Auvergnat, les plus beaux coins d'Auvergne sont dans la Haute-Auvergne c'est à dire sud du Puy de Dôme, Cantal et Haute-Loire.
Quand je veux me détendre et me faire plaisir par une belle balade en moto, je vais dans le Cantal pour parcourir les différentes vallées dont le Puy Marie est l'épicentre. Dans ce coin tu as plusieurs vallées qui te conduisent vers Aurillac, Salers, Massiac, Riom-es-Montagne, etc... (ne pas oublier de visiter Salers, classé parmi les plus beaux village de France).
En fait ces valléesfont parties des vestiges d'un immense volcan qui a explosé il y a très longtemps (heureusement!) (voir Google maps), tu y trouveras des paysages superbes. Mais attention, ce sont de petites routes sinueuses sur lesquelles tu ne rouleras pas très vite. Donc attention au timing car la moyenne ne sera pas élevée si tu n'as pas l'habitude des routes de montagne.
Autrement j'aime bien aussi faire la vallée de la Haute-Allier, on suit cette rivière de Brioude (Haute-Loire) jusqu'à "Le Nouveau Monde" (au croisement de la route que tu suis depuis Monistrol d'Allier avec la D88 qui va à Landos et au Puy en Velay) puis tu rejoins Le Puy en Velay pour rentrer par la national si vous êtes pressés.
Il y a aussi le Forez, à l'Est du Puy de Dôme qui le sépare du département de la Loire, là aussi il y a plein de routes sympas.
En y réfléchissant bien, c'est beau partout l'Auvergne ! 😉
Mais il ne faut pas trop le dire, sinon plein de gens vont y venir et adieu les petites routes tranquilles
Bonne route
PS : il y a un super restaurant au "Pont d'Alleyras" (entre Monistrol d'Allier et le Nouveau Monde), il fait parti des Toques d'Auvergne.

Salut 1000cbr,
j'ai fait aussi les lacs italiens jusqu'à Venise ! mais en juin 2007, et nous avons eu beaucoup d'orages !
Au point que nous n'avons pratiquement rien vu du lac de Garde car il était dans le brouillard.
Là aussi, j'ai été agréablement surpris. C'était encore plus beau que ce à quoi je m'attendait...
Que de belles photos sur ton album !
Re :
Je les ai fait en mai 2007 comme quoi c'était une mauvaise année car au niveau flotte on a été servi. Ona vu que le lac de Garde et Iseo.
Je commence à envisager un périple pour juin 2009 (oui 2009...) de 3 semaines par les capitales d'Europe de Berlin à Sofia et retour par Zagreb Lubiana etc... Donc je vais bientôt chercher des partenaires ... à suivre !

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

Bonjour à vous tous,
Avec un visa "tourist", la tolérance d'acheter et de vendre une petite moto ou scooter (avec la green card au nom de l'ancien propriétaire), est-elle toujours d'actualité en 2026 ?

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for campsites around BOLZANO (South Tyrol) for early September.
I'll be on my motorcycle with a small tent.
I've noticed that some campsites have exorbitant prices.
If you've traveled through the Dolomites by motorcycle or otherwise and camped there, I'd love any tips on places and prices where I can stay for one night or several.
Thanks to all of you, and happy travels.
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 there! My daughter and I are heading to Malta and I’d love to rent a scooter. Does anyone know any good places to rent from and what the budget would be for a week?
Hello, I’m retired and planning a roughly 3-week motorcycle trip (1200gs). The dates aren’t set in stone yet, and everything’s open to discussion—I’m pretty flexible with the planning.
Hi, I'm looking for a motorcycle route for a 15-day trip starting June 20, 2026, in Mallorca. Thanks!

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, 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!
Cheers,
PA
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.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
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.
I’m looking for any great tips, ideas… and maybe even a riding partner.
Cheers

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!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a road trip in Cuba and was wondering if there are any bike rental places (125/500cc) with reasonable rates—not the Harley rental places!
Thanks for your help. Wave of headlights! !

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!
