    Excess baggage?? Ship it all back in a container with a 53 Pick Up and a few Harleys or Indians.

    Drive the pick up around and use it to collect all tools and the other stuff. Now that would be living the dream.


    I actually know people who have paid off a road trip around the states that way. Bought a bike collected it on arrival ridden it around for the holiday bought a second bike (both second hand) shipped both home sold one off and made enough to pay off the trip. If they sold the second they would make a profit.
