What's on your Bucket List for 2023?

[eemsreno]

I always seem to dream bigger than it works out.
I want to do some BDRs.
I always want to ride back to the far north [Alaska]. I have been right past it twice and never seen it. If You have seen it you know it. A lot of riders think they seen it .
Mt. Mackinley


I really want to ride the Trans Tioga Road. that has been on my list for a while.
I'd like to hear your plans for this year.

Scandinavia, particularly Norway and the Nordkapp, plus lots along the way, in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. This trip was originally scheduled for 2021, but got pushed out due to C19. Hoping to see and photograph stuff like this.

I enjoy riding any time any where. I would love to make it to Alaska one day. With current responsibilities I just don't have the time to make it that far. Yes putting off till tomorrow is not the way to get er done so to speak. I have been doing some of the Kentucky Adventure Tour stuff around here and really enjoy that. I am sure I would love a BDR ride as well. that may be more of a doable trip for myself at present.

We were lucky enough to actually see Mt Mckinley on our 2007 Alaska trip.
Bucket list trip for 2023 will hopefully be our second ride up to Prudehoe Bay , last time we rode up there it snowed 6 inches overnight so we wound up hiring Carlyle Trucking to haul our bikes back to Fairbanks and we flew back, it was a great adventure but we are hoping to ride both ways next time.

Now that is a Massif! Heck, the lateral moraines of McKinley are bigger than most countries mountains!

An adventure to the Norwegian fjords has been a dream of mine for a long time. I had thought about doing a trip with my FJR, but now I'm looking forward to the trip even more, because I can adventure to Norway with my Super Tenere!

The idea is to take a ferry from Finland to Sweden and drive through Sweden directly to central Norway and then towards the north and back to Finnish Lapland...

This dream has not yet come true due to covid-19, but maybe next summer I can see the same landscapes as Boris!

The Atlantic Road!

 

[Saint rob]

Hopefully for me Romania and the Carpathian mountains to ride the Transfagarasan highway along with the Transalpina and some of the ACT Romania stuff, something I should have done last summer before some muppet took me and my bike out. With a bit of luck a quick foray into Bulgaria whilst I’m in that neck of the woods.

I have been to Norway 3 times.Stena line Harwich to Hook of Holland then Frederickshavn to Gothenborg.Denmark is flat no mountains.forests.just flat fields everywhere up to Frederickshavn. The Northern part of Sweden is mostly forests and a few mountains.Norway is forest and mountains inland and like the photo you posted along the west coast up to the North.This is where the famous Trollstigen pass is near Andalsnes.Norway is the only place in Europe I have ridden where I felt I could run out of fuel as you do not see fuel stations very often.80 miles without seeing fuel I found normal in some parts in the centre.east.and north of the country.But having said that I have never had a sat nav(showing where fuel is) just maps on the tank.Norway is very expensive too.I was last there in 2009 and a standard box of Weetabix was £8.to give you an idea of a shopping visit to the supermarket.Only 5 million people live there.so in a country this size taxes are high.I have a nephew who lives there.I joined YHA in the UK and used the membership card to stay at the hosteling international hostels on my trip.

Romania and the Balkans is somewhere I'm planning in 2023 tonce this dreadful weather has gone we will have to meet up.as I am only in North east Wales.

I've watched a lot of great youtube videos about Norwegian landscapes. Summer should come soon!

My daughter lives in Oakenholt a stones throw from you so I’m over that way often, it’d be good to meet up

This one is pencilled in for 2025. Hopefully with bear sightings.

My bucket list includes Nord Kapp, I went there in March 2020 just a few days before the first COVID lockdown. I’ll confess right now I went on the Hurtigruten and got on a coach onwards to Nord Kapp. The coach had studded tyres but had to be led by a snowplough because the road was a trench with 3-4 metre snow walls either side, so I have wanted to do Nord Kapp on my bike for years, so maybe this will be the year or perhaps it will be South of France in May, I’m still pondering because I need to fit in with Mrs Longdog too!
A friend of mine went to Nord Kapp in 2014 on a Yamaha TDM 850. He did it over 3 weeks and he said it rained for 2.5 weeks! He was camping too!
