Hi Sean, It's Liam and c90 here.
I sent you an email through your site a few weeks ago with some tips on crossing the Sahara, getting out of Senegal and some advice on where to stay ect. I don't know if you got it?
can't give you any help on shipping the bike into dakar I'm afraid... but if it is like at the land borders then you can get a passavant. It's a tiny bike so it's fine. Anything is possible in Africa really. And if the airport is also like the land borders you'll be in a good position as the only give you a 3 day passavant usually at the border and then you have to get it extended in Dakar... so at least you'll be in town when you arrive, so that's a weight off your mind.
Don't worry about Mauritania and the Western Sahara either; they're both great places and are some of my favourite parts of my journey so far.
Sorry to hear about your problems with the flight and losing your money. That's a bitch, man!
If you've got time have a look for that message I sent you and reply if you can. Wouldn't mind some tips on South America too.
All the best,
Liam and c90 around the World
