I have to agree, solo long rides are my future. I'm a bit stuck though between camping and B&Bs. Camping has its obvious appeal but require more luggage and comes with security issues that I feel curtail other opportunities. But I think that is the next thing to explore.

Guesthouse accommodation is nice when traveling alone as it allows you a base where you can leave stuff locked up if you need to go to town or take a day ride or go swimming.  I guess it's nice to have the camping and guesthouse as options but it means dragging all that camping equipment along.  I guess I'm getting old and grumpy but after a day of riding I like to pitch up, have a hot shower and nice meal and sleep comfortably.  The ride and break away must be different from my everyday life.

Great reading this.
Yes solo riding is the way.
You find your soul and also the reason why you started riding these bikes.
At places you stop, you always find that people come across to chat when you are on your own because as a lone biker you are not dangerous or intimidating.
The adventures you have are your own and the mess you make in regards to the decisions are all yours.
So the adventure begins and ends with you, and where and how far you take it is great.
Solo or two people riding is the best.
I have camped in some really doggy places and as long as you use your head, you will be fine.
Go out there and try it more, it is the way to ride and enjoy this beautiful and diverse country of ours.

Meeting random people in weird places is one of the rewards for me. Being a solo biker helps as people are always curious, or rather the curious ones are usually the ones worthwhile to have a chat with.

I love solo - taking camping gear takes away the need to plan a trip - My total luggage weight is 16kg- if I carry extra fuel (not always) it is about 21kg.
