North America: Legends Carved in Asphalt

Collect stamps at quirky museums, chat with locals, and let the rhythm of faded Americana set your pace and your playlist.

North America: Legends Carved in Asphalt

Big Sur’s cliffs, the Bixby Bridge, and pounding surf soundtrack each sweeping bend. Start early to dodge RV traffic and marine layer fog. Stop for coffee above whale-spouting coves, respect pull-off etiquette, and pack layers—the ocean’s mood shifts fast, and so will your grin through those endless curves.

Asia: Roof-of-the-World Roads and Jungle Loops

A high-altitude odyssey over Tanglang La and Baralacha La, where prayer flags snap and lungs work harder. Acclimatize, hydrate, and carry spare tubes. Expect water crossings, rough patches, and tea that tastes like courage. Every sunrise here feels like a private blessing painted across barren, lunar mountains.

Asia: Roof-of-the-World Roads and Jungle Loops

Over 1,800 curves through northern jungles and quiet temples. The tarmac is inviting, the food unforgettable, and the hospitality humbling. Mind livestock on blind bends, pause for mountain viewpoints, and cool off with iced coffee. Mark your favorite noodle shack so the next rider can slurp joy beside you.

South America: Patagonia Winds and Andean Spines

A ribbon through fjords, forests, and suspension bridges that sway in your helmet’s echo. Gravel gives way to patchy tarmac; ferries knit distant valleys. Fuel whenever possible, stash extra cash, and keep your camera handy. The blue of the Baker River is a color you will remember forever.

South America: Patagonia Winds and Andean Spines

Long, lonely, and hypnotic—then suddenly, condors over your visor and Andes in full roar. Expect ripio, fierce crosswinds, and unforgettable skies. Anchor nights in tiny towns, tape a lucky charm to your tank, and write us which kilometer marker whispered, “stop and listen,” before you even realized you’d braked.

From Storms River to Wilderness, forest shade gives way to shimmering bays and cliffside viewpoints. Traffic ebbs outside holidays; early starts reward. Detour over Prince Alfred’s Pass, taste coastal oysters, and watch for baboons. Tell us your favorite picnic pull-off so others can time their tide and toast.

The High Atlas unrolls ochre folds as villages cling to ridges. Expect varying surfaces, tight bends, and postcard light after storms. Sip mint tea in roadside cafés, barter smiles more than words, and plan Marrakech as your sensory encore. Share your most photogenic kasbah corner for future riders.

Gravel hairpins climb into cloud, where passports meet switchbacks at the border post. Conditions change fast; 4x4s and bikes trade waves. Pack layers and humility, and celebrate with a hot drink at the top. Post your weather window tip so others can catch the same blue break in the fog.

Oceania: Clifftop Curls and Alpine Arcs

Twelve Apostles, koala-dotted gums, and curves carved by relentless surf. Start west to keep the ocean on your right, pause for photo turnouts, and watch sand on corners. Early mornings cut tour traffic, and golden hours turn limestone to fire. Share your best pie shop between Apollo Bay and Port Campbell.

Oceania: Clifftop Curls and Alpine Arcs

A quicksilver highway through braided rivers and kea-haunted summits. The tarmac invites smooth lines; the weather demands respect.

Global Planning: Seasons, Paperwork, and Bike Choices

Match Route 66 to spring blossoms, Stelvio to late summer, and Leh–Manali to the brief high-season window. Consider monsoons, hurricane paths, and holiday traffic. Build buffers for rest and weather. Share your best month-by-month hacks so others catch clear skies and open passes, not closures and fog.

Global Planning: Seasons, Paperwork, and Bike Choices

Visas, insurance, and the Carnet de Passages can sound daunting but become routine with checklists. Photocopy everything, store scans offline, and carry extra passport photos.
