I'm not an Adventure rider are you?

Once your kids have flown the next and you have the courage to make changes in your life style, sell the big house and buy one smaller and kiss good by to the tread mill.
There is only one better feeling, but that's over on the thread ." ARE YOU A Adventurous Bonker " lol

See above post. That's exactly the plan and why I'm taking on the massive mortgage now, you just beat me to writing it.

I'm with -Ralph- on this one.

With my wife, longer Adventures will not be a problem, but with two children no. These sorts of long term adventures will have to wait until the children have flown the nest.

I wouldn't have it any other way, I've got the best of both worlds now and then in the future to look forward to.

You see I don't call what I do a Adventure. I go touring on my Motorcycle.
Some tours have lasted a few day's in my home country and other's have been much longer and abroad.
The use of the word Adventure Travel is a trendy term for Touring !

I have been touring on Harley Davidson's BMW's and Jap bike's. Which ever I have at the time.
I also think it's the media that have put the idea in peoples heads that you have to ride a certain type of bike and go to far off places hmy: .

We would all do better to pull the plug on the internet and spend more of our free time riding and enjoying being out on our bike's.

Safe fun Touring

I do lots of motorbike touring, I get a one week pass about once a year, then do maybe 2 or 3 long weekends.

I've done a few what you might call mini-adventures, a week off road in Portugal twice (once on a chinese CG125 copy with knobbly tyres ), and a week off road in Mexico.

I green lane in France a few times a year, but that's on a quad.
