Apologies for letting this thread slide
We completed our trip Early November in Miami and took our bikes to the shipping agent. The ride has been fantastic , 13 Countries, 28 States in the USA 3 Provinces in Canada. We met amazing people all the way.
Our favourite was South America and I'm pretty sure we'll be back sometime to visit old friends and to see the bits we missed.
I'd say to anyone contemplating the trip, be careful what you read, too many people make it out to be more difficult than it is, people are nice everywhere, if you come across an asshole you've been unlucky but its no different from home wherever Home is!
This time last year we were arriving in Ushiaia for Christmas and now we are back in Scotland moaning about the weather and wishing we were still on the trip.
Re ajusting to normality (whatever that is) is hard but I suppose you need the "normal" bits (boring) to make you get off your backside and plan the next one.
It's been a hell of a ride and to those still lucky enough to be on the road, I'm envious, to those like me planning the next one we'll see you on the road. Travelling by motorcycle is addictive so stay away if you don't want an exciting unpredictable life.

The latest is our bikes are still in Miami despite being dropped off at the end of October, not good, a bit of advice, hassle your shipper all the time, my hands off they know what their doing attitude didn't pay off. Looks like it'll be the end of January now before we see them again, three months must be some kind of record!!

Catch you on the road sometime, somewhere
