For longer trips, do you set the trip end-date to include the full duration of your trip? Or do you reset it daily? Or do you do both?

I plan to leave at the end of March for about 6 months, and the spouse will be tracking me via the Spotwalla website. I'm not sure which would be the better option for such a length of time.

So I am finally in the perfect state to do my dream adventure this summer. I got plenty of funds, a KLR that I've rebuilt over the past few years, and the time to do it. But the question is... where do I go? Maybe you guys have experience in some of these places, or are also dreaming of and have been researching any of them?

What I am looking for:
-Hot weather, deserts. Cold is no fun on a bike. Not too much greenery.
-Off road adventures, less tarmac the better.
-Remote...

Off-Load bike at each port-of-call, explore-ride-camp on the island, and then head off to the next island. (assuming local laws allow it).

We're talking about islands like Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Madagascar, Antarctica..

Places where it might be too expensive and/or island too small to have the...

Essentially I want to make a repository of routes/locations that I can integrate with Google maps (or something like that). Many a times I read these amazing trip reports or hear about a particular location, make a mental note about it and then forget about it. A lot of times I have traveled to amazing areas for riding only to not rent a motorcycle, well because I didn't remember it then. This is...

Just to play with latest web techniques I put together some existing open source pieces linked to OpenStreetMap, the result was promising so I got a domain and created:
