Shipping from The Netherlands to Spain
We are two bikers looking for a transport from The Netherlands to Malaga or Girona in Spain.
We want to take the bikes in Spain at 9 May 2015 and back to The Netherlands at 17 May 2015. Motors are 2x BMW r1200 GS Adventure. If you know any cheap transport company please advice. |
Ok ok, I'll ask, why not ride?
Google maps says 20 Hours and 59 minutes. I know in reality it will take 2 maybe 3 days, still a damn sight quicker, cheaper and easier than creating and shipping 2 x 1200 GS's. |
it is actually 2k to ride down there and will take like 2 boring days on the highways and most important is we have only 11 days and our intention is to see Morocco up to Marrakech.
Now lets do sone math now. Shipping is around 700euro including our flight tickets per person retour.. (this info is from bikeshuttle) if you ride all the way down there, you will pay like 450 euros for fuel (in retour), around 50 for other stuff like food /drink and maybe around 100 for depreciation cost :) Therefore i came up with the idea that if i ship it down there then i will be having more time to ride in south of spain and morocco and i will not be tired to do this. Wouldnt you do the same for a 100 euros difference? Quote:

Not in a pink fit! The trouble with shipping is, any delay especially with a tight schedule and you're screwed. I'd do the Pyrenees on back roads and save Morocco for when you have a lot more time, however I do admire your sense of adventure, good luck with it all, I'll keep an eye out for the ride report. :thumbup1: |
