DustySocks motorbike Travel journal
This page is about stories of riding a motorcycle on amazing roads, discovering endless landscapes and unseen places.I’ll add a dash of motorbike adventures to your quest.
what is a motorbike..?
I suppose the easiest answer is, that a motorbike is whatever you want it to be!
It can be a commuter, a tourer, a street racer, customised art and even a reason for living because some people can take it quite seriously.
But once you own a motorbike and start riding I believe the reasons for letting it take over your life can become more complex.
For me personally, it’s about the mindset to get out of the comfort zone, the enjoyment I can get from a bike and a means to travel and explore.
Owning a motorcycle means..?
In my opinion, owning a bike means to ride as often and as far as time, money and health allows me to go.
Riding a motorbike is like you go back to the roots. Out of a box on 4 wheels, out of comfort. You are not isolated from the outside world anymore.
Alone with your thoughts, the bike and the road you feel your surroundings.
A motorcycle connects you to a great community, you meet different types of people from all walks of life, exchange experiences and expand your own horizons.
A motorbike is a great “tool” for adventure, for exploring the unseen, for travel to places
I would have never seen on roads I would have never chosen without riding a motorbike.
Why this journal..?
First, I want to share my experiences with other travelers.
If I can inspire you guy’s to have new adventures, if I can share informations about what is out there in the world and probably can help to decide where to go next, that would make me very grateful.
Second, when you travel you get a lot of impressions. So as not to forget these, I write this journal.
