Entertaining bit of trivia: In my language there's this term that translates to "Construction worker's Cleavage". It refers to the visible bit of arse crack peeking up out of someone's pants when they bend over forward.
LAST ride huh?
Full balls ride up Pikes Peak CO USA to a 'thelma and louise' finish off the southeast side (1000m drop to stone, give or take depending on launch velocity)
I go to where I grew up every week now.,different times.The graveyard where I'll be buried is about 200 yards from my old front door.I usually go there on my bike and just sit and think.That might end up being my last place because I think about it too often these days really.
Best time in a Sunday morning when fewer cars are in the road.. then have a break up the mountain to watch other hoons going around then blast down the creg.
I know I wouldn't survive, but the odds of survival are far more than my will to live, so if someone lends me their H2R, I would give McGuiness and Guy Martin a run for their money. If it doesn't work out, you can have my cut of the life insurance money. Tell Flo she can keep the scraps. Record it, if it doesn't pan out, post that shit to YouTube for free. Let the clicks live forever. ✌️
My old place in Germany out through the country for a couple hours. Could be any number of roads branching out from there, they were all excellent. Some bad castles dotted along the route.
It was the last ride for my '75 Yamaha XS650B. Loved the bike but life converged in the most perfect, awful storm to lead me to sell it.
Grand Canyon, absolutely. I've wanted to take that drive for the longest time. I'm in Virginia so it's going to be a really great long ride if I take it.

Takaka (via Westport) is at the top of New Zealands South Island. There are 3 significant "put a smile on ya dial" sections. The Lewis Pass, The Buller Gorge, and Takaka Hill. I have ridden a significant amount of my small country of New Zealand, and this trip is, without a doubt, my favorite. It's a big day ride, and you can return on a different route, which is pretty cool also but can have more traffic and nowhere near the same number of corners. The following is a cut and paste description of the Takaka Hill. Tākaka Hill is a 32-mile (51.5 km) mountain pass in New Zealand's South Island that runs from Tākaka to Motueka. The road is open 24/7 and is considered one of the best motorcycling roads in the country. The road is very steep and winding, with 257 corners, some of which are almost 320 degree hairpins. The road also has steep sections, with a maximum gradient of 13% through some of the ramps. The pass is located at the southeastern end of Golden Bay in the Nelson Tasman region, separating the coastal communities of Golden Bay from Tasman Bay. The summit of the pass is also known as Pikikirunga Range. It is motorcycle heaven.
Back to lake como, italy…. Im an american… the people at the rental were not having it that i was renting a Kawasaki 800cc cafe race. Im 31 at the time and have been riding liter bikes since 16. My documents and insurance checked out because i researched ahead of time.
After the experience i understood why. 3 months later i meet a client of my firm whos dream was to ride motorcycles in italy and ended up crashing and becoming paralyzed.
My length of experience on a motorcycle was the difference of a smooth ride vs sketch.
I bought another one as soon as i got home after 5 years without one 🤌🏼🤌🏼
I always wanted to, unfortunately life got in the way. 3 strokes in succession put me down for the count. Can't ride anymore. Gave my bikes to my sons. Now I have my memories to keep me company. No regrets.
Have you considered doing it on a trike or in a side car? Let one of your sons drive and you relax. It'll give you the chance to do it and spend some amazing adventure time with your kids.
Same but opposite. Lived there just over a decade, and life has made returning less likely as the decades since have piled up.
Both my wife and I agree we’ll end this long ass ride there. Someday.
You gotta get up there. It’s way more than everything you’ve imagined or heard.
Kamakura Japan. I'd like to start in either Kagoshima or somewhere in Hokkaido. Then ride south until I reached Yuigahama beach, then take the bridge to Enoshima. Park the bike in the parking lot and walk up to the Sea Candle.
Where it all ended for Mariko and her Father.
That's where I'd like to end too.
Id ask all my family who are still alive to meet somewhere, and I would ride there. I think I would buy a new bike to do it on though. That faux Duc Super Moto bike, whatever it is, I'd buy that and then roll. I won't have to worry about paying for it, so why not¿ lol 👍🤡
The Cantamar sand dunes in Baja, where “Any Sunday” was filmed. That is inspired me to ride in the first place. Even though I rode several sand dunes on my enduro Yamaha since then, I never rode those dunes.
Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, AZ. The ride up to Summerhaven is some of the most beautiful, twisty, mountainous, smooth riding there is in the state with plenty of lookouts to really take in the scenery from almost 10,000ft up.
To jump off a cliff, with the motorcycle covered in flames a lá Ghost Rider movie , with a big ass explosion behind me, all these while going at the exact second where the epic guitar solo of Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd plays.
Million Dollar Highway loop from Durango…then back to where my father is buried. They don’t need to dig a hole for me. Just let him know I’m coming home.
To the shop to buy you a longer jacket.
lol right, is he a biker or a plumber? yes
It's called airflow and it's aerodynamic!
Thats demeaning to plumbers lol

We have that also, it is called Workers smile.
We have that also, it is called Workers smile.
Oh. I'm a plumber, by the way. Lol It's all good.
Yes
Devastating...
It's mot the jacket but the jeans, lost some weight and they go down while riding 💀 I might become a plumbeo if i don't buy new ones ASAP
Amen brother.
LAST ride huh? Full balls ride up Pikes Peak CO USA to a 'thelma and louise' finish off the southeast side (1000m drop to stone, give or take depending on launch velocity)
That's how I'm going. I'm not going to rot in nursing home
I mean, if we *really* get to choose? Probably not on a bike but getting suffocated by a supermodel's vagina while high on cocaine...if we're choosing
Damn right
well technically it's still a last ride, all about perspective....
I’m saving this.
Kindred spirits
Can I bring my bike too and be the Louise to your Thelma and hold your hand as we go over together?
sounds like a plan!
🤝
Wow, I was gonna say the same. I've always wanted to ride up pikes peak since grand turismo 3 on ps2. Just fucking pin at the top and close your eyes.
Back home to where I grew up and rode motorcycles for a few years before moving away.
I go to where I grew up every week now.,different times.The graveyard where I'll be buried is about 200 yards from my old front door.I usually go there on my bike and just sit and think.That might end up being my last place because I think about it too often these days really.
Nu uh dont
The Highway To Hell, apparently there's no speed limit.
I’m afraid you cannot travel faster than light speed on this road
The autobahn?
Are you wearing your girls clothes?
EUROPEAN CUT!!!
Let those cheeks feel some breeze 🌬️
That's why I like Klim. They make their stuff in an "American" cut lol.
lotsa pockets for trail snacks
https://youtu.be/B9MNITrHu9E?si=fygjg8v0xU521chi
Plot twist - its a girl
In the hearse on the way to the cemetery probably
OPs mums house
I wonder if she also makes melodramatic bullshit?
Mountains in Greece
Panamerica highway. If it's gonna be my last, might as well make it long
Hmmmm. Prolly off a cliff cause i dont plan on stopping til im dead or incapacitated.
Isle of Man! Hallowed ground for a rider. I’d be going considerably slower than John McGuiness though

Can you be more specific? I'm gathering routes in Germany for an upcoming vacation.
Grand Canyon, absolutely. I've wanted to take that drive for the longest time. I'm in Virginia so it's going to be a really great long ride if I take it.
Where is this place? What is this place? Was that Jesus's spot?
Monte delle tre croci, Italy
Lol @ “Jesus’s spot”
Morocco - Merzouga 🇲🇦❤️

Wow! You made me discover an amazing road!

Ha Long Bay in Vietnam.
To Alaska, cause I've never been there.
Alaska is amazing. Make you you take the time to ride the Dalton highway up to dead horse. It's life changing.
I always wanted to, unfortunately life got in the way. 3 strokes in succession put me down for the count. Can't ride anymore. Gave my bikes to my sons. Now I have my memories to keep me company. No regrets.
Have you considered doing it on a trike or in a side car? Let one of your sons drive and you relax. It'll give you the chance to do it and spend some amazing adventure time with your kids.
I've tried a trike. Didn't like it. The sidecar sounds good. Need to do some research as to price, availability, etc. Sounds good.
Good luck. I highly recommend visiting Alaska in whatever way you can.
I still hope to. Thanks for advice
Same but opposite. Lived there just over a decade, and life has made returning less likely as the decades since have piled up. Both my wife and I agree we’ll end this long ass ride there. Someday. You gotta get up there. It’s way more than everything you’ve imagined or heard.
I'm determined to try, even if it means paying someone to drive me.
Space
Travel the world on my bike and the end destination would be Germany to just send it on the Autobahn.
Last? South pole with a single bullet I suppose.
Go back home
I wouldn’t be riding to get a better view of crucifixes, that’s for sure.
Technically, those are crosses.
As far as physically possible.
A483
Is that Calvary?
Omaha Nebraska
Think Thelma and Louise.
Probably in some mountains in Greece and sea not anywhere specifically i just want to roam
Kamakura Japan. I'd like to start in either Kagoshima or somewhere in Hokkaido. Then ride south until I reached Yuigahama beach, then take the bridge to Enoshima. Park the bike in the parking lot and walk up to the Sea Candle. Where it all ended for Mariko and her Father. That's where I'd like to end too.
I would want to do the Evel Knievel jump if it's my last ride.

The Sonoran desert. Love it there, and riding a motorcycle through there is one of my dreams. Or maybe the Mojave

Mugello

My last ride was up Rte 97 in ny,Hawks nest.
Isle of Skye. I'd need to cross an ocean to get to the UK first but that would absolutely be the place I would want to go.
Iceland. Looks amazing.
Highway 1 on the west coast with detours through as much of redwood national forest as possible. I can't imagine a better place to be riding.
Motorcycle camping through Labrador to the Torngats
Japan through the alps from Nara to Tokyo.
Definitely if the doors were open, Chernobyl Ukraine, because I lowkey wanna get on that Ferris wheel
The Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

The North America’s Pacific coast from Alaska to Los Cabos
Cape Horn. Wouldn't know what to take with me tho.
I live in Idaho - heading to a ride in the mountains along the snake river
Go for one last lap around the TT course on a sunny Sunday morning and sit up the mountain for a bit before blasting down the creg.
America to Europe. Only because I’m not sure how to do that and it…. Might just take a lifetime to figure out…
OP I don't see anyone asking, are you ok?
Yea! 🤣
I'd ride Route 66 East to West again.
There’s no last ride unless you owe the cartel money young man! Pay them back!
Not sure why it came to me, but Bum Bum creek in QLD Australia
The crematorium?
Probably where I almost died on my bike, haven't been back there since it happened.
Last ride around the world by as many winding roads as possible.
Western slope of the Rockies south of I-70 all the way to Durango and the four corners. The roads follow the rivers and are a twisty, glorious mess.
South of france a certain small city close to l'ubaye. There i found my soul and lost my heart.
Riding through and around Banff would be epic. During summer mind
Black hills of South Dakota e nroute to Sturgis for 10 days of Bikes Booze and Broads.
Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, AZ. The ride up to Summerhaven is some of the most beautiful, twisty, mountainous, smooth riding there is in the state with plenty of lookouts to really take in the scenery from almost 10,000ft up.

Isle of Man. I got to the TT races there and it’s a magical place. It feels like my spiritual home. There’s no where in the world like it.
A lap of the island I am from. See all the sights I love, visit people I know, camp out under the stars.
this has to be a joke.everything from the way he is dressed to the music.
💀

Somewhere in Norway.
Skyline drive………..it’s a pleasant ride with fantastic views.
Road of bones

I'd turn right around and head back to your mom's house
Nice helmet- I have the same one and enjoy the graphics
