I've decided I need a bucket list for different events, tracks and moto related things I need to do, and I'm going to try to knock them off at least 1 every other year.
Riding a fully paved motocross track on a supermoto is definitely going on my list:

Other items:
- Take an adventure bike trip through Colorado with pops
- Go watch an MXGP race in either Valkenswaard or Lommel
- Enter an extreme enduro like Erzberg
- Wales to Italy on a BMW 1200
What else needs to go on my list?

TriRacer27, if you are looking for some good endure type of stuff Northern Mi, has some really fun places to check out if you know how to get on to the parcels of land and don't mind roughing it out in a cabin for a few days.
I also did a mountain bike trip this summer in WV, around Davis (formerly the place of the Blackwater 100 GNCC) and I would love to take an off road bike out there sometime.
My wish is to come to america and go to every supercross and outdoors for a year with the family. After ive saved about 300,000 hahahaa

if you ride, you need to make a point to do an extended trip through the Baja, nothing like it anywhere on earth.
i've been very fortunate to get to do some amazing things on a dirt-bike that i never thought possible. i've ridden 1400 miles with 6 other badass dudes down the length of the Baja. i've lined up on a starting gate with McGrath. last week i rode about 40 miles of the Baja 1000 course side by side with Scott Myers and Shane Esposito, both Baja legends. it's amazing that 20 years ago when i was a little squid, i never would have imagined what i would accomplish down the road.

Colorado adventure ride
Colorado trail ride
Washington to Alaska adventure ride
Tour of Utah and Tour of Idaho adventure rides
I've been doing this already over the years.

I rode it once in 1977. A friend recruited me to co-ride his RM-125A model. We rode 30 minutes each, treating it like 30 minute motos. We lead the 125 class for five and half hours. I had the last half hour and with about 25 minutes to the end, the rear wheel came apart. You know the old saying: "It only pays to lead the last lap". We were pushing a dead bike back to the truck on the last lap.
I used to ride scrambles at Jeeps every winter in the late 70's. I loved riding there. I hope to be down this February.
My list:
Race a MX in Europe
Attend Peoria TT
2) Ride a 500cc 2 stroke
