From Europe to North America by ferry! (Still not helpful to moto travellers.)
I was just watching a documentary about the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon - a French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland. They are essentially France/EU land, use euros, etc.
Apparently there is a direct flight from St Pierre to Paris! And a vehicle ferry that goes from St Pierre to Newfoundland in an hour and a half!
Unfortunately, the flight is a Boeing 737 (no cargo room for motorcycles), and the vehicle ferry doesn't carry vehicles, because the port on the Canadian side doesn't have a vehicle-capable ramp!
Ah well. Still, imagine the unique experience of flying off with just your EU ID card, then crossing into North America over the surface.
