Wow - what an amazing journey. Thanks so much for sharing it here. Give serious consideration to a book (travel log, photo book, etc) for your trip.
2007 S2R 800 and a smile every time I ride...

I'm in what is apparently the snow capital of the world, or the NY-metro area as it's known to the rest of the world.

Bike is here but will be gone soon (anyone want to buy a fully loaded, fully loved, latin-flavored DR650?  A Duc M900 might be coming on the market soon, too.).

Heading to Spain in two weeks to hike the Camino de Santiago.  That's the current plan.

Life at home sucks.  I want to be back on the road...

Better start on that book to fund the next trip.

No.  Just taking a pause.
Why sell the Monster?

Your's is in good shape...unless, of course, you need the money or want to try something else when you get back to it.

I don't really want to but I have nowhere to keep it.  I am homeless now, and the one family member with room in their garage is moving.

Do you have a way to transport it?

I'm sure someone here that lives in the Northeast has room for a bike for a while. How long before you're done in Spain?

I can put it on a pallet up on a shelf at the shop if you want. Can even shrink wrap it to keep it clean.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.
