Australia to Portugal & beyond
I am planning to travel post covid in 2021 from Newcastle (Australia) to Portugal by motorcycle. I have no time limits as I will be recently retired. Looking for travel companion/s to share the adventure. Current route is from Newcastle to Darwin -Timor-Indonesia-Malaysia- Asia (counties?)- India- Iran ?- The Stans- Russia-Poland - Europe to Portugal. After that I'm not sure yet.
Trip will comprise of camping, hostels and hotels as required. My route is not set and can be amended as required. Yes I will be 60 years young but I have ridden motorcycles since I was 18. I currently ride a Honda VTX1800 cruiser but I am looking at a small to mid size adv bike to do the trip.
I would love to talk to others over a bourbon and discuss and plan.

Very interesting !!! Let’s meet ... I am from Newcastle (AU) and ride a KTM790R ... I am similar just turned 58 and planning to retire maybe end of the year. I am well travelled (not on bike) and a very competent rider since early teens maybe email me "steve.ritter.au (aatt} gmail.com"

The wife and I left Lochiel, down near Merimbula and did just that back in Aug 16. The bike is currently stuck in Sofia, Bulgaria. We hope to get back there this coming year so as to continue east through Russia and beyond. If I were solo I'd ditch our Africa Twin, I'd be on a WR250 or similar. Trust me weight is your enemy. If you are coming down to the south of the state anytime, feel free to drop by. We have a wealth of info. You may find a little inspiration here.

Hard to plan around the Covid stuff. I have a vaguely similar plan but I'm going to continue to work albeit 4 days a week until vaccines are rolled out over most of the planet. I'm 66 now, based in Norther outskirts of Syd bike of choice will be my DR650
