On the 20th of May 1999, Chris and Erin Ratay from New York City in the US set off for a planned motorcycle journey of 15 months from Morocco in North Africa. It turned into a 4 year, 163,061 km (101,322 mile), 51 month journey over 6 continents. They returned home on the 6th of August 2003. On their journey around the world, they crossed 86 borders and covered 50 countries. Truly an impressive achievement. Personally I wouldn't mind doing a similar trip one day. It sounds like a very interesting way to see the world. Chris and Erin Ratay hold the Guinness World Record for the longest motorcycle ride by a team. I'm sure that someone could probably improve on this record one day. Maybe I'll look in the classifieds for a motorcycle and do my solo trip around the world on it, who knows.
