Fair point  But the journey is part of it for me. I did Route 66 in just over a week a few months ago, and got a sense of satisfaction from having completed the route. Flying to a country, renting a bike, riding around for a few weeks seems more like a normal holiday than a road trip if that makes sense?
I guess I'm just trying to figure out whether I'll need to stick to touring in the 'western world' for my long motorcycle road trips while I have a job to consider, and shouldn't be thinking about setting foot in South America or Africa unless I have a year to spare?
For example, it looks like it should be possible to get from Colombia to Argentina in 3 months, seeing a few things along the way if not everything. But every time I read online of someone doing that route, they seem to have done it over a year on a 250cc single. So I'm trying to reconcile my theoretical belief that what I want to do should be realistic, with the fact that no-one seems to actually be doing it!! :-)
Maybe I'll win the lottery and can quit the day job..........
