[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1435434, member: 19880"] I think I would like to spend six or eight weeks in Australia - circumnavigate the continent. With or without company - quite happy to ride and camp on my own terms. I am more about places than roads and this would be fascinating to me. Not much interested in crowded (and costly) venues in North America or Europe and I don't have to go as far as the Alps for twisty roads or breathtaking mountain scenery. Of course, a side trip to New Zealand and maybe Tasmania would be part of the plan. I think it would be a great way to escape a Canadian winter. (A "cultural" visit to Europe would be interesting but I wouldn't make it a motorcycle trip except for maybe a day rental somewhere.) I would buy a decent used bike when I got to Oz and sell it when I left - probably a lot more cost effective than renting. Just need someone local to help me with arrangements and a modest lottery win... Edit: Just had a look and there is a modest cost ferry from Oz to Tasmania but no easy/quick/cheap way to get the bike from Oz to New Zealand... [/QUOTE]
