Someplace new. I've always wanted to ride the Alps or ride in New Zealand. I have to finish off the lower 48 first.

If I were planning my last road trip it would include everyplace I've ever been and every place I've never been.

I guess if I know in advance that it's going to be my last road trip, I must know some other things -- like that I only have a limited time left to live, or that my health is not going to allow me to ride in the future -- something like that. If I had to choose between riding an old favorite and riding someplace that I've not been yet, I'd take the road as yet untraveled.

Same here, but I'd like to include a couple favorite places along the way too. Of course, it would depend on how much time I had.

If it's your last trip, just remember that there ain't no such thing as a wrong turn on a motorcycle.

Very true

New roads are more fun to explore, IMO

I'm assuming to play this game you:

1) know it's your last trip
2) don't have money problems
3) don't have medical problems

If so ... round the world!

I was afraid you were going to say that.

Is there a place you really wanted to go but haven't? If not, I would be tempted to ride somewhere that I've been and really liked.
