Probably get it a little bit cheaper but I couldn't be bothered messing about getting loads of quotes

 

thanks guys.. B9KOS what was the ride down there like and can you give me any tips.. how long did it take you? were thinking of doing around 300 miles a day

So you only want to ride for 3 hours a day then

 

Just be careful in spain, as copies will NOT be accepted for ANY documentation.
When I travelled there last for my firm I had to have a BOND, as well as a minimum amount of money on me at all times, as they have VAGRANCY LAWS.

Amazing route down the coast of Spain down the Costa's. We drove to Benidorm after the ring one year. Through Germany, Luxemburg, France over the Pyrenees and all the way down to Benidorm. Did it in a day none stop.

Silly speeds all the way down, At first we thought the tolls clocked your speed but they never. Only time we got done was in Calais on the last leg got boxed in by 2 ob cars and took down some lane lol and made sit in some random van for a bit

 

Got ferry to Roscoff in Northern France after a problem with my mates Ducati meant we missed the ferry to San Tander

Got off ferry and out the ferryport and started on the autoroute about 10:00. Stopped about 18:00 at hotel 60km north of spanish/french border. About 800km on first day

Had a meal and a glass of wine then went to bed

Got up next day and rode from there to our 'base' for the trip just sourth of Valencia, another 900km

Had the saturday and sunday at Moto Gp, mon at the beach, tuesday went for a play doen to Benidorm , then left thursday morning at 08:00 to go back to San Tander, about 800km and got to our hotel about 18:00.

Overall the auto routes are painfully boring at times and make sure you get petrol when ever you can as we nearly ran out a couple of times. Sat Nav with petrol stations on is a must The twisty stuff across country is amazing mate

However as tabetha says ensure you have all your documents including your passport at all times

And its well worth investing in a Ventura luggage system to make things easier

300 miles a day would be easy

Early start day 2 (showing ventura luggage)




By the sea in Valencia




In the mountains somewhere




Race day on sunday
