Helpful Links Some great resources for anyone travelling by motorcycle - whether it's to the next continent or just around the block. If you stumble across any sites you want to share with us, drop us a line! Note that all links on this page open up in a new window. By far the best resource for long-term, far-away travel is Horizons Unlimited. Excellent information on shipping, customs and visas, and planning that 3-Year-Round-The-World motorcycle trek you've always wanted to do!
If you're traveling by BMW Motorcycle, here are some great websites. ADVRider has a great GS forum called GSpot, and BMWSportTouring is one of the best R1200ST boards:
Sport-Touring.Net is a good site for the sportier side of motorcycle touring:
If you are trying to find some good motorcycles roads around the world, here are the sites we regularly turn to. MotorcycleRoads.US has an excellent database of twisty and scenic routes across all 50 states, and BestBikingRoads.com is a similar resource for European routes. Both sites depend on contributions and ratings from Internet users, so check back often to see if any new roads have been added.
And of course, because we do still sometimes tour around our own neighbourhood, here's what we use to plan local routes around Ontario:
Last, but not least, the old standby. If you haven't checked out Google Maps, they've thrown in a lot of great features like creating, and dynamically dragging & dropping way-points after you've calculated your route. For major metropolitan areas, they also have a "Street-View", which is a 360° panorama taken from a moving car. Great for scoping out potential parking spots!
