If you had six months to live?

I realize the subject may be a little dramatic however, it's getting cold out and I'm bored. So if you had six months to live, a $15-20K budget and you had to start from somewhere in the states, what would be the ultimate bike trip? Alaska and down the west coast or would you take a chance and down to Mexico (watch out for the drug cartel), Central America and onto South America? Or something through Canada? And there's always A1A down to Key West. Or no itinerary and just ride?

Better start soon on that Alaska ride. The best weather is waiting for you.
Looking forward to the ride report.

Start at the top of Dempster Hwy and end at Ushuiua at the tip of South America...majority of the ride through Rockies TIP to Tip twisties :-)

I like the no itinerary and just ride bit.
Planning things for me always ends up being stressful ..... gotta see this, gotta see that, crap forgot to take a left turn on I81. :angry:

From where I'm standing anywhere South will do fine!!!

A run to Prudhoe Bay would be my pick. Maybe catch part of the PCH on the way back.

I've no interest at all in "A1A" and the East Coast. Not much desire to travel East of The Mississippi River...

Would probably spend most of the time in NM and CO.

But I'm a "Westerner" at heart...

Why put up with all that northern hemisphere shit, broarden your horizons, come Down Under, we ride all year here.

If you ride Queensland in the new year, you risk drowning or a croc attack

. But don't panic, we can send in Skippy to pick you up :woohoo:

. Chuck in a bushfire or two, a couple of 'Joe Blakes' and a alf dozen 'Drop Bears'

and it should make for a pretty exciting adventure you can remember for eternity.

I've always been told that I should avoid Oz. Don't worry about crocs, skippy, or bushfires, it the damn poisonous arachnids that hide in your boots..... :mrgreen:

That's why we sleep with our boots on!

Now you've done it. You've solved the Koan--Why do Oz boys sleep with their boots on.... :mrgreen:

I have to pick a new Koan to meditate too...damn....
