Yes, Dr. Gregory Frazier stored a bunch of bikes all over the world. Not sure if he still maintains that fleet or not ... after all, he's been RTW 4 or 5 times by now.
Does some work for these guys:
Dr. Frazier Rides - Motorcycle USA

Also, four or five books published, regular HU presenter at events.

A friend stored his R100GS in a couple places in Mexico after a month or two of riding, fly home, 4 to 6 months later, fly back and resume travel. He did this over two years, through out Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. Finally made it home with the bike. Some great tales.

Hello and a question!
 

I (very happily) have the family and career constraints too. Tend to do a european trip or two each year (this year's was UK to Romania and back). I loved it and it felt like a great adventure. My tip would be don't worry too much what someone else is doing, just make it fun for you.

On the speed/distance thing we covered a lot of distance. My approach is to split days into 4 'shifts' of 90 mins. I can ride all 4 and still have a few stops, or i can ride less if there is something i want to see in more detail. You might only scratch the surface but its fun (to me) and there's no one right way to do it.

I've booked a 3 month sabbatical, plus 2 weeks holiday in 2016 to ride Cape Town to Cairo. I am planning to ride at a slower (for me) pace - trying to stick to 2/3 shifts per day max and riding max 5 days on min 2 days off each week. I'm not going to see everything in 100 days but i'm planning to enjoy what i do see.

Enjoy the US - i've done 4 US road trips (3 car, 1 bike) and absolutely loved them all.

Cape Town to Cairo sounds amazing! Would love to do this one day... I'm sure you'll post about it on here, so I'll follow along!

I think you're right about not worrying too much about what other people are doing, and just enjoy my own trips. It's not a competition after all, and if I'm having fun then that's the main thing.

Just want to get on with doing another trip now! Winter is rubbish :-P
