One of the biggest newspaper in Brazil (Folha de São Paulo) just made a small article about an elderly couple planning a RTW trip on a brazilian Honda CG 160cc ( portuguese version and automated translation version - you may need to click on the "Continuar Lendo" icon to read the end of the article). Their website is this one ( http://www.mybigdream.co/ ) and they just started the travel for those who what to follow. I don't know them personally but I took the liberty to send them an e-mail suggesting to subscribe here to share their travel stories with us.

Great stuff.

Wish them well for their great Adventure, just goes to show the bug can come at any time and they went for it.

Maybe the lesson here is 1, that you're never to old to do anything (you want)
and 2, that if they can do it, getting up and going then WHATS STOPPING YOU

Hope to see them somewhere on the road, be happy to have a with them, so if anyone catches sight of them post it up.

Cheers. Bryan

Two-up on a 160cc with no substantial savings or plan.

They've got guts, I'll give them that!


PS. that link for their website doesn't seem to be valid. Try this:
