Hi Ramblurr,
I think the only reason we got through on the road was someone likely lining their own pockets during the the revolution. That plus the barges werent running. Haven't heard of anyone else taking it.
I imagine it would be doubly difficult on the bike as we had Egyptian customs with us passing through the Egyptian checkpoints and even then it took time. The fixers in my posts and the weblink above will be able to tell you more but the ferry definitely seems to be your best, cheapest and simplest option.
Good luck and be thankful you don't have a car to get through Egyptian customs!
Tadhg
