So, for all those who have been interested in just how much it costs to do this sort of crazy year-long jaunt on a motorbike, here goes… Shipping the bike to and from the Americas with Motofreight came to a grand total of £1445 (out) and £1942.69 (back) which had a surprise £290 fee at the Heathrow end when we collected the beast. Flights from London to Anchorage: £ 799.53Flights from Buenos Aires back to London: £818.97 Shipping the bike and us from ...

Our final border crossing, back into Argentina for the 4th time, felt a little emotional - the final TIP, the final stamp in the passport and all the usual shenanigans.
