The honeymoon, which has taken them to some of the most breathtaking places on Earth, is a far cry from the day job for construction consultant, Tom, and primary school teacher Lorna.
Currently in Santiago, Chile, and six months into their travels, adventurous Tom and Lorna and have stretched out their wedding celebrations a bit further than the usual one or two weeks.
Tom said: 'We've never done a trip like it together before, although I have ridden motorbikes for over ten years and Lorna has travelled extensively.
'I'm very passionate about bikes and she's passionate about travel, so it's sort of the dream honeymoon for both of us.
They departed the UK on July 24, and plan to fly back from Rio de Janerio in February
By the time they return to the UK they will have clocked up over 25,000 miles, and visited 17 countries all over the continent on Tom's BMW 1200GSA
'The beauty of a motorbike is that you can go where you want, when you want - and you can forge your own path rather than following the guidebooks.'

From swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, driving across the desert and sailing the Darien Gap between Panama and Colombia with the bike strapped to a sail boat- this honeymoon has had it all
Tom bought the bike, nicknamed, Terry, in 2005 and made just a handful of slight modifications before embarking on the trip of a lifetime

He said: 'We met the old fashioned way, in a bar, in Lorna's home town of Worcester- two years to the day we later married in Barcelona.
'We both have a sense for adventure and a "just do it" attitude!
'I hope to try and encourage more people our age to take some time away from work as the benefits are huge.'
The trip saw them start in Alaska before driving to the most southern city in the world, Ushuaia, in Argentina, when they turned around and drove back north towards Brazil
The newlyweds even managed to find some home comforts in the most unlikely of places, tying an abandoned sofa to the bike

The couple were given one particularly big shock when they received a wake-up call from a towering grizzly bear one morning.
They were sleeping in the Canadian countryside when a grizzly bear entered their tent.
Tom said: 'It was pretty hair-raising when it came into the tent. We both lay perfectly still and waited for it to leave.'
'We were both terrified.'

Tom said: 'We found it in Chile on the side of a cliff. It must have been dumped there previously but it was dry and light so we had some fun with it.
'It was for no reason really other than to have a giggle!'
'It has exceeded expectations in both the sights we have seen and the people we have met on our journey. The world is not as scary as people like to believe.'
