Fascinating and informative responses to this post.
My small contribution is that I dont especially want (at the moment) to do RTW on my bike, but I am very interested in doing longish (2-4 months ish) trips to places like Mali, Tashkent etc.The time for these is easier to find, and this may be a solution for the guy who posed the question.
Has he done any longish trips?.....or is the attractive dream of RTW looming too large in his mind? Why not get a couple of months off somehow and try for somewhere like West Africa? After that, he'd know for sure if the RTW bug had really bitten, and then he could just jack it all in and go RTW, in confidence that this was what he REALLY wanted to do.
