Thanks for the replies and advice guys!
Patrick: Appreciate the good advice... Have already started the reading and been thinking about buying a bike in the US of A but will likely come in through Havana (to see it before it changes) so i understand that i'm not allowed to fly into the US from there?! Maybe hit Mexico and cross the border to buy? Will have a look at Grant's CD now though!
@ Steve - thats good thinking in my opinion, similar to my situation - not many people hiring in London right now so its a bad time to be a headhunter... Would be great to chat about ideas and aims so will PM you my email (if thats allowed on here?) and we can sort out a phone conversation.
As for my bike / licence sit I dont see the point in paying £700 to take a difficult bike test (and possibly fail to pass) if i can pay $50 in Mexico / Cuba or the like; also am currently not sure if i want a decent modern bike or an old one (Honda?) that'll better blend in and be a little more authentic - though i understand that in that region they are expensive items!
Anyone else starting their trip in Feb?
Cheers
Jamie
