 A real adventure riding track in Nortwest Africa is the Iron Ore Track following the famous Iron Ore Train in Mauritania. Trains on this railway are among the largest and heaviest in this world leading through a part of the largest hot desert on earth - the Sahara.
The track follows the railway for around 450km (280mi). There isn't really a road for very long stretches and one has to ride through deep sand.
It also passes the second biggest monolith on earth (Ben Amera). That's the one you can see in the background of this photo.

 This is the road leading to Norway's North Cape at 11:30pm. The magical sunlight comes from the sun never setting completely in this time of the year. A truly beautiful phenomenon.

 The TET (Trans Euro Trail) is the European counterpart to the American TAT. It also leads through the fantastic Lura National Park (Lurë NP) in Albania. This place is also one of the last few areas with real European wilderness. Unfortunately, there aren't many places anymore in Europe, where you can ride for hours without meeting any people.

 Here is one of the most impressive roads in the world. It's the breathtaking road to the little village Shimshal in northern Pakistan. Shimshal is a tiny mountain village, where most of the people work as sherpas. You can meet some of the world's best alpinists there. All of them have already been climbing the highest peaks of this world several times.
The road is also declared as "dangerous road" due to the little winding road right next to deep cliffs - without any guard railing, of course 😂

 This is Bolivias's famous Death Road also called Camino de la Muerte. In earlier days, this was a main road and one can imagine, that driving on this road with a truck, probably was quite exciting these days. Now it has become a touristic route and there is hardly any traffic anymore. It's still a beautiful and impressive road.

 Beautiful Laguna Brava in Argentina's La Rioja region. It's located at an altitude of 4300m (14000ft).

 A very special place in Argentina. This sand dune is next to the crater Corona del Inca at an altitude of ~5400m (~17800ft). It's full offroad with deep sand in some parts and without any tracks anymore in the end - everything in extreme high altitude. One of the few places in this world, where you won't find a lot of people.

 Camping in South Chile on the Carretera Austral. The weather there is changing quickly and usually it also rains a lot - so any roof beside the road is welcoming to place a tent.

 There aren't a lot of places anymore, where one can bring a motorcycle onto the beach. This is Lucky Bay Australia. A breathtaking beach with freezing cold water though 🥶

 It's on Australia's southwest coast facing the Antarctica. So it's always freezing cold, but probably therefore also still one of the cleanest beaches in this world. We have been several times in Western USA. Unfortunately never with motorcycles. USA has by far the most impressive National Parks in this world. So we hope, that we will be able to ride there in near future. 
 River crossing in Bartang Valley Tajikistan. Depending on the season one has to adapt to the daytime and the meltwater. In the afternoon the river crossings on this adventure route can become unbreachable.

Tried to ride on a salt flat in Kazakhstan to shoot a nice photo. We only needed 1 hour to get the bike out again 🤪

 Fitzroy Mountain in Patagonia Argentina. One of the few days with good weather.

 Ayers Rock Australia after riding Australia's Great Central Road. There was a bush fire nearby, that's why the sky looks so mystical. https://image.nostr.build/eadd6a91832a4df911af007082e3b5a694a9f34ad2b72453c1b66dd7233f9328.jpg 
 Bartang Valley Tajikistan. A beautiful remote valley in the Pamir mountains and a real offroad adventure on a motorcycle. https://image.nostr.build/6cf66fa995a8db2e8a72d579b245083e05538f494f6ad4afcd6a741bf06044f5.jpg
