Wow!! Some of you guys have had amazing trips - stuff of my dreams.....
I haven't done anything like many of you, but I've been fairly proud of what I've been able to do since I started 4 summers ago at the age of 58. And I'm a Super-Clydesdale too. I try to take 2 months each year and have toured across Canada. My current project is 2/3 finished: going from the Gulf of Mexico (Corpus Christie, TX) to the Arctic Ocean (Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, Canada). Would have finished last summer, but my danged heart had to go and act up - should be good to go this summer.... and I'm now a "slightly" smaller Super-Clydesdale.
andrewh - maybe I'll meet you on the road - when are you planning to start your tour? I'm starting on June 21 from Toad River on the Alaska hwy (where I was forced to quit last year) -- that's about 350 kms southish of Watson Lake, Yukon.

21 days Ubon Ratathani, Thailand to Bangkok Via Laos and Cambodia. A two weeks it felt pretty long time. When I made it to Bangkok it didn't seem long enough, but by then the bike, and me, were pretty much destroyed.
