REDISCOVERING FREEDOM
Remember that moment as a kid with your mates on your BMX bikes and having that feeling that you ’ ve never been this far from home before ? It may have only been to the next village or town , but it felt good ! That feeling of excitement , freedom , and adventure with the wind blowing through your hair . Feeling that the world was your oyster and that you had so many other places still to see and things to do . Your life felt good !
Let ’ s fast-forward 20-30 years … we now have jobs , mortgages , and are married with kids . The system has got us . But while we sit at work , we still remember those moments . We crave to make those memories again and to recreate those feelings . And that , folks , is why we still yearn to travel on motorcycles . It ’ s the bug that never leaves . Once it ’ s inside your blood , you ’ re hooked ; it ' s like a drug , and you are not going to rehab … ‘ No , No , No !’
Over the past 20 years , traveling by motorcycle has become more and more popular . Driven by the TV show ‘ The Long Way Round ’ and with access to YouTube , we can sit in the comfort of our own homes and watch adventurers travel every part of the globe on various bikes . It doesn ’ t have to be a GS ; it could be a moped , sidecar , a tuktuk , or a unicycle ! If it ’ s got wheels , it ' s game on .
