great thread!
quit smoking, quit drinking, sleep in a tent, quit motorcycles and use a bicycle, and if this doesnt cause major depression the fact that you shaking, mildy hyperthermic and no where near your destination will!
On a serious note I think shopping around both before your trip and whilst on it helps. When you have a budget theres a big difference between a ten grand bike and a five grand bike, even if it "wasnt the one charley mcgreggor used".
