Hi thanks -a litle digging found several threads on a similar vein. Think I'm leaning towards the TTR -looks like it can be converted into an acceptable RTW bike and provide some fun for off-roading on the IOM whilst I'm saving the cash to finance the trip.
As for how old - 46 in 2 weeks or so - so I'd like to start the trip in 2 years on my 48th birthday. I'm thinking down the west coast of Africa, up the East, across to India, South East Asia to Australia/New Zealand. (If I'm there for my 50th -I'll be happy -may need to take a break to earn cash then - I'm an occupational therapist and ex-schoolteacher so think I might be able pick up some temporary work) then across to Alaska and down to Chile back up to Brazil -then who knows?
