Hi we are Marco & Bee, brand new here.
We are currently planning for our 1st RTW with our LT (i have worked at sea 24yrs and traveled RTW +6times) but at sea it's different ball game.
Ok here is the nut to chew,
we (im 6 1' 250LB wife 5 2' 90LB) planing to start from our home country what is Thailand, bike chosen -04 K1200LT, on our LT we have trailer for extra storage so i think we going to be ok with spares and equipments as it's seems now.
So we planned to start from Thai, ship bike to Chennai, India as around burma would take long time as China might be difficult for LT, from chennai to south india and then up to Mumbai to New Delhi (trafic is no roblem, have been riving in bangkok and that is nightmare already) then from India to Pakstan-Iran-Turkey-Bulgaria-Romania-hungary-Austria-Germany-poland-Lituania-Latvia-Estonia-Finland(haha,,home country)-Norway(north-Cape)then cost of Norway down to Oslo then to Denmark-Holland-Uk-Ireland-Usa-LA

or San Fran-OZ-Indonesia-Singapore-Malaysia and back home Thailand.
Plan to start is early 2010 as getting enough cash,info and advice from you guys also all paper works for Thai registered bike takes time,,
Basiclly in not worry about anything in the coutries traveling, it's only about availability of fuel and spare parts for LT as that it's not anyones 20 top choises for RTW, i have been noted many times before of my choise of trasportation, But lets look in the brite side, if this is going to happen, what a comfortable ride that would be and for missus, sitting in the sofa around the world and looking around.
Ok be nice on your comments,, we are new here,,,
naahhh,, honesty is one of the best part and most appriciated.
Thanx
