swap my 800xc in Australia for bike in Northern Ireland or France May-June 2016

Hi,

Very experienced rider and have traveled in EU by bike and car. Partner and I are planning to go to Ireland, IOM and France about mid May to mid or late June 2016. I have a very well set up and maintained Tiger 800XC (Touratech panniers,30L tank, power sockets and all the other fruit) to swap for a sound reliable bike we can travel on for about 4 to 6 weeks including to the NW200, a week or two around Ireland,http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ilies/rain.gif a week or two at the IOM TT and probably northen half of France for a week or two (and possibly Assen TT) probably from about 11 or 12 May to near end of June latest. Possibly have accommodation available as well on Sunshine coast and in Brisbane - Qld.http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...lies/beach.gif
I'm open to ideas like short term accom and gear swaps/rental with responsible travellers and riders who know what they're doing.
Not worth shipping my bike for a short trip like this and you may have the same problem or you need a bike for longer I may be able to help out there too and have a lot of experience in buying and selling bikes and cars and travel in Oz.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
