I like that, I'm possibly going to burgundy in France on around 5th march (might change) it's work so yes taking my van and coming back empty....possibly going to slovenia mid April in the van so anyone need anything collecting give me a shout...I go near to a lot of places on my return...Italy is only a couple of hours from Lake bled where I will be staying...definitely going just which vehicle I use, ideally van to earn some dollar, French trip looks on just dates needing confirmation.
Here is another option for future reference. Have a chat with Tony Barker, he's shipped 100's of bikes from Italy both road and TD Bikes. https://www.facebook.com/EUROBIKETRANS/
Agree, I'd probably just get it running and road legal and enjoy riding it and nothing more. It has an earthy honesty to it.
