The motorcycle expedition of a lifetime, and some...

Time and money are two precious resources that most of us don’t have an abundance of but if you happen to be lucky enough to have more than your share of both and love to travel on a motorcycle, this could be right up your alley.

According to Edelweiss Bike Travel, its the longest motorcycle expedition ever offered on Earth, in terms of distance and duration.

More details after the jump.

The 248 day journey will begin from Mieming, Austria, which happens to be the headquarters of the tour operator, Edelweiss Bike Travel, on November 14, 2010 and ends on July 20, 2011.

Looks like there are many options or paths you can take if your not interested in going for the full 248 days. The trip is broken up into 5 sections and from that there are 6 different packages to choose from.

Section 1: Mieming, Austria to Dakar, Senegal (35 days)

Section 2+3: Buenos Aires, Argentina to Los Angeles (101 days)

Section 5: Beijing, China to Mieming, Austria (56 days)

Section 2+3+4+5: Buenos Aires, Argentina to Mieming, Austria (192 days)

Section 1+2+3: Mieming, Austria to Los Angeles (150 days)

Section 1+2+3+4: Mieming, Austria to Perth, Australia (186 days)

For details on each section, price list and whats exactly included, check out the Edelweiss Bike Travel website but the general price range is from $9,600 US (per rider) to $101,200 US (per rider) for the full tour. There is a separate charge for passengers and a single room supplement fee on top.
