Europe in 2027
Hello all,
My wife will have a year-long sabbatical in 2027. Yes, I know that's a lifetime in the future but I'm a planning nerd and I need the distraction of planning
We'd like to trace my father's wartime path through Europe which began in Italy and ended up in Holland.
Looking at bike rentals but the costs are looking pretty high for a multi-week tour. Instead we're thinking about flying our 2005 ST1300 over instead.
Based on some preliminary research it looks like air freighting a bike over to Paris or Rome from the west coast of Canada is about $5100 USD return. Renting an R1250RT looks to run about $125 USD day for 14+ day rental so we have to have a minimum 42 day trip for shipping to even start to be more economical.
Obviously lots of folks have shipped bikes before. Wondering which companies you've used, how challenging was insurance?
