Thanks for the replies guys. I already have and own the bike. I’ve read so many reports regarding people planning meticulously taking up to three years, which somewhat surprises me. We like to do spontaneous stuff and go with the flow, but there’s so many things need planning as to when you’ll be entering certain countries and how long we would be there on a rtw trip.
Looking at carnets and visas we were ideally planning to ride west to east, uk to New Zealand to be more specific. After chatting to one of my pals who’s currently on a rtw trip he suggested doing the pan American highway due to not needing a carnet if I fly the bike into Santiago we could ride down south to Ushuaia and then head north up to the Dalton Highway. This is something that has been on the bucket list also for a number of years after watching a documentary some 11 years ago!
So we may do this first and then do the trans American trail before looking at the west to east trip.
