Vancouver to Morocco?
Well I've made it to Vancouver but am now thinking instead of crossing the States/Canada and using the Ro-ro, I am looking at flying me and the bike to Morocco from here and riding back up to the UK.
I now have a price of $1700 to fly the bike from Vancouver to anywhere in Europe including Lisbon using Motorcycle Express but am hoping its possible to get it direct to Morocco. Anyone done this route?

Shipping
Hmm, don't know of anyone that has gone form Vancouver to Morocco. MotoEdde shipped to Morocco or somewhere near there but from what he said, did not have a pleasant experience.
Shipping by air is only $1,300 from Toronto or Montreal. Short drive from here as you know, 4500 km to T.O.
Was Motorcycle Express certain about all the destinations available into Europe? Reason I ask is that I know that their charter airline (Air Transat) has many more options for European cities from Toronto and Montreal but fewer options from Vancouver.

Would be nice but I can't afford to ride in North America any longer, its just way too expensive!
Here's what I got form Motorcycle Express:
We can ship your uncrated motorcycle by airfreight as follows:
ONE-WAY from: Vancouver or Calgary TO London, Manchester, Glasgow, Frankfurt, Paris, Munich, Dublin, Lisbon
USD $1,695.00

Good to know. I guess if one wants to go to a destination that isn't direct from Vancouver (such as Lisbon) they must first tranship the bike to Toronto on one of their many domestic flights.
Really, you find it expensive here in Canada? If you're tight on budget, there's a whoooole lotta free camping to be had between here and Toronto.
I'll be shipping my bike, which is back east, out of Toronto next week to mainland Europe. For a few  s, I could be convinced to ride your bike out there for you

New Jersey-Southampton
Used W-W from New Jersey to Southampton in July 2005. Left loaded panniers on the bike. Bike arrived unmarked and untouched. I was advised to remove number plates from bike before shipping. Excellent service and would use again.
