Who's in?

[ctrain]

I would do this in a heartbeat! But there are two problems that I see... The price is a bit out of my range (okay a LOT) and I have a Ducati.

This would probably be a kick ass ride, but the fact that I would have to pay $100k to ride MY motorcycle just seems wrong

i was thinking that way as well.
then i realized the amt of planning that would go into this.
to have a maint vehicle follow you would be pretty difficult and pricey in itself.
add in the fact that you are paying them to transport your bike to certain places and  for the help with import/export and it's almost paid for right there.
next with the route planning. if i had the time i would def take on this trip with a my garmin c60, some extra tires, a few pairs of undies and a few other spare parts. i would definately get lost and prob spend more than a few days in the same area trying just to get out. to have someone take care of that for an 8 month around the world trip covers quite a bit of the $101K entry fee.

all totalled, it would prob cost a bit more than what they are charging anyways to do it yourself.

And once you finish you can take a motorcycle trip through all 45 states.

Not all 50 states?  Are we talking another country here or the United States in 1890?

The ad said all "FIVE" continents.  Approximately, might one say that 5 is to 7 as 45 is to 50?

In other words, it was a joke.

The tour should hit all SEVEN continents.

if you still consider europe to be distinct from asia. (and why?) and you can't ride in Antarctica. So out of "6" continents, you are going to the 5 rideable ones.

if you haven't heard, pluto isn't a planet anymore either.

If I could afford to pay someone to take me on a $100k adventure, I could probably afford "a bit more".  I would personally just take my Garmin, and a few pairs of boxers and maybe a sidearm, and make a real adventure out of it.

So shouldn't your name be ATO United States?

i'm with you on that. well except for the boxers. i prefer boxer briefs, i don't like going commando while wearing pants..  

and having a chase vehicle would be a nice thing too.
let's hold a car wash to raise $400K so the both of us can go [moto]

perhaps it is time to switch to 'dallas'. my tigers are in the NIT and it hurts all over.

To raise $400k, it would take a lot of bikini clad and (likely) very expensive help.  Even if they gave "happy endings", they would still need to wash a lot of cars.

Someone calle Ewin and Charlie and tell them they're missing a great ride!

[SacDuc]

If'n I had 100k and a year of free time I would not spend it in a train of bikes piloted by rich douchebags with a lust to prove to themselves that they are rugged individualists while in the comfort of a prepackaged "adventure."

/would find a much lower class of douchebag to ride with
