Thanks guys
I like the story of Dot the moped  )
You're darn right about the fuel / shipping cost argument. But, if I can find a way to stick with my bike then I'd prefer that, one get's attached you know!
Plus of course I actually have to buy the bike and after going roudn the whole of S.America I assume the worst; that it'll be not worth much on it's return. That said....
I shipped in the end.... $1000(!) though the paperwork is annoying and makes me wonder if I should have. Plus I'll have to ship it back out and do it all again....
But my end decision came down more to wanting to stick with the same bike on the trip and then be able to look at it when I am old and reminisce!
