A second truck left several days earlier taking all the UK Dakar competitor bikes directly to Lisbon. For me the decision was easy, it would cost £380 for the ferry to Bilbao and then ride the 700 miles through Spain, or I could lay out a total of £390 for Biketruck plus the flight and start from Málaga.
I'm carrying on to Senegal where my wife is flying out to join me for a couple of weeks in the sun, so I suppose that's not an adventure either??? |
12 bikes @ 390 quid each is 4,680 quid, a good profit being made by BikeTruck. A house move to spain is only about 2.400.......
so you and 12 others are also too chicken to ride in the cold! 
Tim, each to their own, DON'T TAKE OFFENCE AT MY COMMENTS, PLEASE, I rode 365 days a Year in the UK,without heated vests and only 'discovered' heated grips the last year I was in the UK.
Riding in the Cold, it isn't for everyone I know,but you are missing out on some great scenery.... thought I will admit, the 'Picos de Europa' would be a little nippy about now!
Come back to Spain on a your Honda when the weather is good ( leave the Lardy BMW 1200 behind, although im sure you can pick it up unaided, cant you?) and you will be able have some of the BEST off road riding in europe.( pyrenees excepted of course)
