I'm sure thats why most of the people traveling the world on a motorcycle are in their 50's+. Something to look forward to
I hear you Matt. With a corporate job and a mortgage to pay, not enough time and too many financial responsibilities, so it is also a dream for me. At that rate, I'll be well in my 60s before I can think of getting away

BTW, if anyone is thinking of doing a trip to Central/South America and need help or lodging, I have family in El Salvador and one of my best friend is from Colombia.
