The 5 best motorcycle trips on 5 different continents

The Mae Hong Son Loop - The most famous motorcycle trip in Asie

Hands down the best way to experience one of Thailand's most beautiful provinces, the mountainous Mae Hong Son loop provides the authentic Thai experience. Remote, lush, winding and secluded, it’s the ideal terrain to explore on a motorcycle. At 600 km long, the loop requires at least 4 days to complete. It starts and finishes in the popular city of Chiang Mai in north-west Thailand, passing through Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son and the idyllic town of Pai. If that’s not enough for you, you can head for Chiang Rai province 8 days east once you’re done. With its breathtaking mountainous landscape, it’s up and down all the way. Your days will begin in the valley floors and you’ll be in the clouds by lunchtime. The route is lined with a myriad of breathtaking stops, from temples and caves, to national parks and remote mountain villages. You'll gain a unique insight into Thai culture as you interact with the minority cultures who inhabit the area. Few tourists roam these parts, so interactions with locals are common. English isn’t widely spoken, so learn the names of your favourite dishes, and don’t forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent!the mae hong son loop

The Pacific Coast Highway - The best motorcycle trip in North America

With stunning scenery, tranquil sun-kissed beaches, winding roads and a blue pacific backdrop, the Pacific Coast Highway hugs the Californian coast from Malibu all the way to Oregon. Busy in the summer months, it’s best tackled off-season for quiet roads. With 7 state parks on the route and many a quaint town, there is no lack of interesting places for a stop off. Most start in San Diego county where Torrey Pines State Park is the main attraction. Further along as you enter Orange county, don’t forget to stop off in San Clemente for the big views and equally big waves. The southern California Coastal Range provides great riding, and on the way to L.A, why not take in Mulholland drive or head up into the Hollywood Hills. Through San Francisco, as you enter northern California you encounter those winding roads that are simply made for bikers. They snake up the coast occasionally weaving inland through towering redwoods. The entire trip can be undertaken in 2 days, but why not set aside a week or more and give it the time it deserves?the pacific coast highway

Bariloche to Ushuaia - The No.1 motorcycle trip in South America

This route is a two-week adventure that navigates the Argentine - Chilean border. With surprisingly well-paved roads, it makes for a superb riding experience. Best ridden from north to south, the route traverses through the stunning Patagonian landscape. With towering snow capped peaks, vibrant glacial landscapes, lagoons, lakes, waterfalls and hot springs, there are abundant natural features and stop-off points. Weaving from the Atlantic coast back to the Pacific, and culminating where they both meet at "el fin del mundo", the route is dotted with national parks. Of particular note is El Calafate national park and the stunning sight of the Perito Moreno glacier, a world heritage sight. Further south it's onward to Torres del Paine National Park with its spectacular views of mountains, rivers, lakes and glaciers. And from there it’s a short ride onto the island of Tierra del Fuego where the route comes to an end in that barren, often windswept landscape. Depending on the time of year, the weather can be unpredictable the further south you get. Be prepared for wind, rain, cold and even snow!bariloche ushuaia

Trans-Kalahari Highway - The ultimate motorcycle trip in Africa

3 countries, this route will take you through Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Beginning in Windhoek, Namibia, you can follow the well-surfaced road that runs south straight to Johannesburg. The route can be undertaken in 2-3 days. However, with plenty to see along the way, it’s best to set aside a week or more and explore the surrounding attractions a short distance off the main route. One such attraction to the north is the Etosha Pan. It’s an endorheic salt pan and certainly merits a visit. Surreal flat landscapes with abundant wildlife exist on the 120 km long dried lake bed which provides ample opportunity for exploration on 2 wheels. Further to the south-east and across the border in Botswana, the swampy inland Okavango Delta is to be found. It's only a matter of hours away, but it’s an altogether different place. Home to vast grasslands, meandering rivers, large lakes and abundant wildlife, it encapsulates that true undisturbed African experience. Remember to fill up where you can when off the main route. Vast areas of uninhabited wilderness exist on this exciting route. But that’s all part of the charm!autoroute trans-klashari
