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.
