Salut,
Si tu aimes les vieilles villes qui sont restées avec leur charme de la "conquête de l'ouest" et de l'époque de la ruée vers l'or, tu peux aller voir TOMBSTONE au sud-est de TUCSON (sud Arizona). La vieille ville (1881) a été magnifiquement bien conservée : meubles d'époque dans les saloons dans lesquels on peut toujours prendre un verre, théâtre d'époque, rues en terre battue, etc..les environs de la ville sont semi désertiques (très chaud en été) et vallonnés à l'image de ce que l'on peut voir dans les bons "westerns" avec vent et poussières garantis ainsi que petits buissons secs qui roulent sur le sol, poussés par le vent. C'est comme au cinéma, mais là c'est du vrai.
A voir également, le 1er cimetière qui date de la fondation de la ville et sur les tombes duquel sont inscrits les motifs des décès (tué en duel, abattu par le sheriff, assassiné par les indiens, mort par pendaison après avoir attaqué la banque etc...)
C'est dans cette ville que s'est déroulée la fusillade de OK Coral qui a par la suite donné lieu à la réalisation du film célèbre du même nom avec john Wayne.
Si tu veux me donner ton e-mail en message privé, je peux t'envoyer quelques photos.
A ton service si tu as besoin d'autres infos concernant Tombstone et sa région.

Bonjour,
Les Grands espace type Monument valley ou Grand canyon peuvent être une alternative dans ton prochain trip, et tu pourrais aller faire un petit tour vers Calico Ghost town au nord de Barstow, sinon petit tour sur Oatman ou bien encore Bodie au nord de Mono Lake bref il y a de quoi faire, un petit tour à SFO est un bon plan, sinon petite visite des parcs nationaux (Zion, Yosemite, sequoia etc.....) Y'a vraiment de quoi faire dans le coin avent de s'ennuyer😏 Bonne route Christophe

Salut voisin😉,
si tu as fait la Route 66, je te rassure, tu es loin d'avoir tout vu...C'est compliqué de te dire quoi faire. Il y a l'Orégon Trail que j'ai fait en 2007 ou le Big Circle (le tour des plus beau parc d'Arizona, de l'Utah et du Nevada) ou encore les Rocheuses du Sud au Nord. Moi j'ai eu la chance d'y faire déjà 3 ride et j'y retourne en Septembre et je suis loin d'avoir tout vu.
Je connais la Route 66, mais si tu l'as faite tu ne connais pas Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, Arches NP, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Zion NP, Valley of Fire, Death Valley, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Sequoia, les routes superbes comme la 12 ou la 24 dans l'Utah, la Burr Trail ou la Mokee Dugway toujours dans l'Utah, la 14 et 14A dans le Wyoming, l'Hwy 2 et 89 dans le Montana et des villes comme Sturgis, Deadwood, Custer dans le South Dakota, ou encore en vrac Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle, Jackson Hole, Cody, Moab, ect, ect.....Tu vois, il y a de quoi faire. @+
Cordialement.
Daniel

Bonjour à tous,
Si vous arrivez à vous débrouiller en anglais vous serez déstabilisés par la qualité d'accueil, l'amabilité des gens, la courtoisie, l'envie d'aider l'autre et l'absence d'acharnement commercial qui nous est réservé en tant que motard étranger: c'est tout à l'inverse d'ici 😕
En 2009 ma femme et moi avons loué une Electra-Glide chez Eagle Rider (5*) à Seattle; on y a transvasé nos valises puis nous sommes partis en solo pendant trois semaines pour vivre nos plus agréables vacances à ce jour 🤪
Les réserves animalières de l' Etat de Washington via la Péninsule Olympique, les cotes "vierges" de l' Oregon, le parc des Séquoias, le nord de la Californie puis retour par les volcans, les petites routes qui ont conservé les vieux ponts couverts tout cela en 4500 Km. Du coup il y a maintenant une FLHT 2010 dans le garage 😇
Côté pratique: - Si vous allez dans les grandes villes vous devrez payer le stationnement comme pour une voiture. - On paye l'essence par carte ou par PETITES COUPURES. Un billet de 50 est malvenu car il impose au commerçant un fond de caisse important. - Mettre votre moto à l'abri pour la nuit est souvent une fierté pour l'aubergiste sinon c'est carrément sous les spots de l'entrée couverte des hôtels car il y a encore un "esprit d'aventurier" chez de nombreux réceptionnistes 😛 - Évitez les villes industrielles car vous y trouverez notre quotidien 🏴☠️ - Parlez avec les gens, ils sont souvent venus en France et adorent nous renseigner sur leurs curiosités locales 😉 - Sur la côte nord-ouest il fait froid en mai / juin et il y a du vent, souvent du crachin et de légères averses. A 250 Km vers l'intérieur la température grimpe de 15 à 25°C. - Lors d'un simple arrêt en ville il se forme souvent un attroupement autour de nous pour voir la moto et comme les gens communiquent entre eux la conversation s'engage avec le visiteur... C'est une agréable cure de bonhommie!
Pour le reste c'est selon votre envie: Alaska, Dakota, désert Navajo, New Orleans, Keys...
Je crois que vous avez plus de liberté à voyager en solo ou petit groupe car il y aura toujours une ou deux chambres libres quelque part. De nombreux bikers sont retraités et voyagent avec leurs camping cars aménagés. Pour ce qui est des prix en 2009 nous avons payé en moyenne $120 par nuit à l'hotel, $100 jour pour bien manger et boire tout au long de la journée (on est français malgré tout), comptez $100 par semaine en frais divers (parcs nationaux, ferries et péages). Le coût du carburant est ridicule et le pourboire de 5 à 10% selon cas est compris.
Là-bas vous entendrez souvent "Have a safe ride and enjoy your stay"

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.
Hi everyone,
With a tourist visa, is it still tolerated in 2026 to buy and sell a small motorbike or scooter (with the green card in the previous owner’s name)?
Thanks for any recent first-hand experience! V

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

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! ✌️

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 there,
I’d like to ride from Mahajanga to Morondava, sticking as close to the coast as possible—using roads and tracks—in September 2026. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! 😉

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,

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.

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!

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!
Hi there!
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!
