OK, I'm in Darwin. The Darwin Symposium is great fun. It will be over in due course - then what?

Well you might ask. It depends a bit on how I feel by the time I reach Darwin. Several possibilities -
1. My bum is so sore I never want to see this motorcycle (or any other) ever again.
2. I have had enough riding for now. Just take me home.
3. I feel 20 years younger, I want to keep on riding!
4. I started this thing and by golly I will finish it ....

And so there are several possible plans. Probably the best one is sell the bike in Darwin (I would like a change anyway and next year could be another long trip best done on a touring bike) and then fly home. Another possibility is to ship the bike home by road or rail and fly home. Another possibility is to simply keep going and ride home on the T Max. All of these have drawbacks and advantages. We will see, of course someone suggested to me that if the bike is insured (it is) then simply set fire to it one night on the side of the road....then again it would be easier to just leave the keys in the ignition somewhere suitable....
