A valid question for many including myself. The mere fact you have used this forum for contact and raise this topic of concern indicates you have an intrepid soul with wanderlust like the rest of us. I've often of late thought 'have I missed the boat' here with travel and will this frigging pandemic drag out and corrupt my already massively delayed 'setoff' time even further...!!
I myself was due to set off last year 2020 to do the TCAT (Flights payed for after 3 years of planning etc) but Covid had different idea's. I've built two bikes, one solo and one for pillion riding. I have £30k wrapped up and seven years of building them just sitting there waiting for things to lift. At 58 almost 59 I am still able to hold my own with all the younger hotshots coming through the ranks in my field of work BUT I can realistically see the end of that approaching.
Yes folk are travelling still but lets be realistic about the monumental added protocol involved to get through borders, tests, paperwork, cost, risk, hassle and time scale. It's a massive head fcuk and add to it this new variant and all the restrictions that will follow..??? There will be a point in time where the 'wait' can no longer be tolerated and you will, like all of us here who are 'waiting' take action to implement your plan. It's a nightmare, totally, it really is......
