The real type of bike to travel the world on.


Matz bike .. la bella roussa. There is a top box missing off the back rack but other then that .. that's all Matz carries. He rides a 400 Honda Translap ... 160,000k . We traded bikes one day for a short trip ... he likes the Dragon and said .. yes you can do it on a Harley. After a few beer and other things ... he had added knobby tires, skid plates and a few other accessories to my bike for the tuff to get too places. Sure glad he never had a welder or my bike would have been ready to go.

Nice ride! Hope it still is a sweet baby. Maintenance, I think, is one key factor to keeping it wild on the road. Being quite a grease monkey and knowing where to get good parts can go a long way.

The bike looked ready for an endurance ride as shown in the picture. It is good that it had all the touring amenities it needed for a long travel. And just like Claudio said, maintenance is a key factor to keep the bike on performing great on the road. It could help avoid mechanical problems, especially on long rides in the future.
