Hey,
Pretty impressive being that organized that far in advance, kudos to you.
Couple of quick comments, not sure if I would quit my job so much in advance of leaving. Unless money isn't as issue, the extra cash can be put to very good use in extending your trip or partaking in some activity in one of the countries that you visit that might normally be outside of your budget. You are pretty organized, start now and get all the things done you can in the months leading up, save every penny, quit your job and head off the next week, who knows when/if you'll come back.
As for the route, it'll change for sure and it's hard to really plan a continent ahead, let alone a country or two ahead, but looks interesting as a general routing.
A couple of random suggestions:
Doubt you'll be able to pass through Burma so you'll have to make a hop.
In Australia, most people ride down the east coast instead of the down the center.
If you going to cross part of Zimbabwe for the fun of it, it might be more interesting to cross through the whole thing and exiting at Victoria Falls.
In Argentina, the route up the center is interesting, perhaps preferable to the coastal route.
Hope that helps in some small way.
