There is nothing stopping you from traveling, so long as you maintain distancing, wear your mask and use common sense.

I had my European travel plans scuppered this year. I had left it until September in the hope the virus would have slacked off - no such luck. I still managed about 2500 miles in and around UK including one mammoth run from home to Inverness in Scotland and back in one day - Not far off 670 miles. The run finished in the late evening and what is wrong with that is for the last 120 miles there is one fuel station and no where to have a coffee.

It is what we call MAMBA country - miles and miles of bugger all.

As it does not promise anything else in 2021 I think it will be a ride around the coast of England Scotland and Wales. I don't know the full distance, but keeping as close to the coast as possible it has to be around 3 or 4 thousand miles.

I have just checked and it is just over 3000 miles - no motorways either! At least I save by not having to pay for the ferry to Europe, or take out travel insurance.

I met a BMW group at Tellico Plains this weekend, rode the dragon and several loops around the area. Rules change about masks from state to state. NC still has mask mandates, TN does not. I felt safe everywhere I went, people used common sense.

Yipee, love your stories. I am actually planning to tour around Asia next month. How was thir protocol, is it even strictier now or maybe not at all. has anyone traveled to Asia lately? Which country?

I don't think Asia will be as feasible as you think it may be.

I mean, anything is possible, but right now, an Asia tour is going to be entirely uphill at something like a 30 degree slope.
