I know this isn't the correct protion of the board for this topic, but I just wanted to be sure as many people on here got a chance to see/read this woman's story.  Her name is Makiko Sugino, from Japan, and has been riding her Yahama 225 around the world and has logged upwards of 250,000 miles.  Check out this thread for her story and some amazing pics!!

I read the entire thread.  It'd definitely be a pleasure to meet her.  Too bad she returns to Japan at month's end.

That is quite amazing.  I just read the whole thread too.  I think I need to travel some more...  I wonder why she had the thread locked

Wow, thats a really cool journey!  There is a guy on youtube with a similar trip, he is from Europe and did an around the world on an R1 of all things!!!! here it is:
