Perhaps part of the desire to go solo or in a group might also relate whether deep down you are an introvert or an extrovert ?
Generally introverts enjoy their own company better than extroverts, but tire more quickly of engaging in small talk with others than extroverts.
Extroverts on the other hand tend to have a need to seek connection to others more regular than introverts and usually feel uncomfortable more quickly when being alone.

I tend towards extrovert and would have previously had a strong preference for duo+.
However, having spent 3 months in Africa alone last year i'd be a strong solo if going again. Takes a bit to 'find yourself' at first but being along just means you meet and chat with loads of new people you may not have otherwise engaged with - turned out to be a real highlight of the trip and i felt i grew as person through the experience too.

Solo or duo, you are gonna have a lot of fun. Like everyone said just talk to people and see if you can find someone you get along with. If not, riding a bike to the sunset by yourself is satisfying enough imo. Have fun on your trip!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
