[Closed] What's top of the bucket list?

I would love to just bugger off on a motorbike a-la Long Way Round and get in adventures and stuff.

You read my mind 😀

And just bugger off.

To never become so Americanised that I actually have a 'bucket list'.

Oh shit - one doesn't count does it?

Drive Route 66 in an old Cadillac!

i think id like to spend a whole summer riding around canada with no constraints on time, and no modern electronic gadgets.

To go with Karl Pilkington on his bucket list.....

Think of all the laughs you'd have 😆

Southern Tip of South America to Alaska. All on a Lambretta. Unsupported. 🙂

Ok, maybe one of those BMW touring type bikes.

Same as Marty mac

I've never been interested in sailing the Seven Seas.. or even had any interest in climbing aboard a boat of any description.. But after a few afternoons on my mum's rickety little transatlantic gypsy caravan recently, while she and her fella prepare to head off on their travels again, I'm really starting to see the attraction..

To live out "Fear & Loathing.."

Yesterday I followed a Zonda F through Chester, I've always liked Zondas but only seen them at shows. Seeing one on the road was a different matter, the weave of the carbon fibre in the early evening sun and the noise it made. I'd love to drive one down to Italy for a weekend. Whoever it was driving it thankyou you made my day and my day dreams 🙂

A bath with Shakira and Beyonce.

Sorted.

I spent years travelling the world (not tourist-class either), paid for by work, plus all the other delights 😉

Now doing it properly. Sold up down south and now living 1/2 hour from Glentress, converting some buildings, when not riding 🙂

Yesterday:

Gumball 3000!
Or possibly the Mongol Rally. Looks like epic fun.

For me to race the IOM TT, the Scarborough Gold Cup and the NW200.

Oh yes 😉

+1 has to be done

What the Jeff is a bucket list?

Not the Cosworth engined RS1800 rally legend?

A bath with Shakira and Beyonce.

Sorted.

Odd combination. Whereas the former literally glows sex appeal (movement like a fine Swiss watch), the later leaves me cold, think it's the 'camel arse' figure that kills it for me. Rihanna on the other hand (although a rough scrubdown with industrial grade disinfectant would probably be the order of the day afterwards)...

Thankfully I've never heard the term 'bucket list'...but I think I've got the general gist.

Travelling the world education myself and family. Staying as long as we needed to in each place to get a good feel for the culture, and then moving onto to somewhere totally different. Obviously it probably wouldn't be possible to all 200 countries (borders closed to outsiders, war zones, etc.) but I'd have a good try.

Wow, that sounds like a cheery movie.

I thought the same but then watched it - it's actually really good (in a faintly cheesy heartwarming way).

Everest Marathon is top of my list.

Yeah, reckon I'd be up for some Extreme Chocolate Eating as well.

+1, with a constant supply of refrigerated plain chocolate coated marzipan and cool lager.

As for Rihanna, she'd have to go back to her "Umberella" style before I'd let her.

Drive Route 66 in an old Cadillac!

Was supposed to do route 66 on a motorbike a few years ago but a few days into the journey in the middle of the desert the engine expired. Ended Up getting a lift from a man with two red eyes to Needles and from there catching bus to Vegas, where I spent a few days, and then flying to new orleans where I spent a few weeks.
Wasn't the journey I had planned but still was really good

Across the Andes by frog.

And Antartica

Money no object - Climb Olympus Mons (and return!)
Physically - a properly deep freedive (and return!)
For the challenge - crack 200mph in/on a vehicle of my own design, built in the shed.
Sightseeing - Aurora Borealis

Drive Route 66 in an old Cadillac!

It's mostly gone now isn't it? There's a freeway that follows some of the route but most of it hasn't been there since the mass unemployed walked in in the 30's. I remember reading a motorcycle travel book about someone who had a similar idea and being dissapointed that it doesn't actualy exist apaprt from small stretches and hick towns that the freeway's made obsolete.

+1 for sail arround the world, although my missus seems more bothered about her handbag collection than actualy doing stuff so it'll probably never happen. Trying to move us near the coast so there might be a possibility to get into some inshore cruising/raceing, then maybe a weeks cruise to Europe and hope she get's the bug from there.
