Morning/afternoon/evening everyone.

Just thought it was about time I signed up to this forum.

Bought the 1150 ADV June last year from SPC then stuck it on a plane mid Aug to start my RTW trip. Called into the US, Canada, NZ, Oz, South Africa, and Swaziland. I got home last tues (365 days later) having covered over 47,000 miles in 9 months (take out 2 months for moving from country to country and 1 month working). 2 punctures, 8 rear and 6 front tires, one speeding ticket in NZ, 0 crashes, lost count of 'on the dirt spills', one broken finger.

Time of my life, just got to sort out what to do next????

RTW on an 1150 GS, and you live in Swanage, what more could anyone want... Swanage is the place that I call home, everywhere else is just a place im staying wishing I was living back in Swanage ( rose tinted glasses and all that).

Enjoy the site. :thumb

Write your diaries, and produce a video!

You kept this one quiet until you got home! Sounds like a Doer :clap not a Tosser :rob .

Well done, mate.

I've got to find a photo hosting site for some of the 2000+ pics I took. As soon as thats done i'll work out how to add them on here.

I think I should have said.......Back living with the old man in Swanage as I sold my flat in Ringwood to finance the trip.

I wrote a diary on an 'msn group' thing and they will soon be rehashed into an article to be sent to some of the bike mags to see if I get any takers.

Find a good job with plenty of overtime to pay off the credit cards I expect :D . Nice one Whiter Rabbit. Look forward to the photos.
Do you intend to keep the GS as a momento of the Trip?

Can't recommend www.smugmug.com highly enough, loads of people on here use it. Unlimited storage, and easy to link in pics. Use this voucher code GheFnxV3U6N7g for $5 off the annual fee of $29.99 and it nets me $10 off mine next year too :D (well, I am Scottish)
Good luck with the book, and really looking forward to seeing the pics..
