I think this is a really interesting topic and 2 things occur to me.
However relaxed you are about life and all that it throws at you, the stress of having to find a new place to sleep every single night can be mentally very tiring so that after an extended period of travelling by bike, it is very easy to be extremely worn down. A long term tiredness (not just knackered after a night out on the lash) can be very debilitating and sap you of the drive needed for RTWing.
And secondly I know everybody is different, but perhaps after spending a long time riding round just looking at stuff, perhaps you need a break. If there is a purpose, or a destination, or something else then that helps. It may be sacrilegious to say that here, but that was my experience towards the end of a year long trip
