One of my life goals is to get a drivers license for motorcycle and take long adventure trips similar to yours.

I just started taking some driving lessons before the winter arrived, and love the feeling of driving a motorcycle, but I'm still not comfortable making tight turns in slow speed (5 km/h) without leaning the bike. Do you have any tips for a newbie on overcoming the fear of tipping the bike?

Congrats on kicking cancers ass!

Thanks, I really appreciate your reply! Since I'm taking the drivers license for "heavy motorcycles" I have to take lessons using a heavier bike (which I really like, a BWM FS750 GS), but I have also bought a 50cc to practice on privately, as I can drive it legally using my car drivers license.

Have you seen the documentary TV-series starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman? In the different seasons, they drive through different continents much like you. They wanted to use KTMs, but for some reason the company withdrew the sponsorship right before their trip, so they were sponsored by BWM instead with R1150GS. They drive through Europe in the first season, Africa in the second and from Argentina to the US in the third season. The third season has the best production quality and is available from Apple TV+.
