In the spirit planning well in advance a few of us are contemplating shipping our bikes to southern France (Nice). From there we will be heading into the Alps and beyond.

As part of the plan I contacted Overlanders to get a quote for one way shipping. While not keen to organise one way shipment he told me that the more bikes we could get together the better.

So far we have about 6 bikes pretty much confirmed with a 7th being a maybe. A total of 12 would make for a full shipment.

While I am not proposing all 12 bikes tour together, shipping to and leaving from the same spot makes sense if it helps all financially. The idea is to all ship to the same destination and then go our own ways in either groups or alone which ever suits.

So if there are any interested in shipping a bike or bikes for delivery 18th August 2012 in Nice, please contact Dereck at Overlanders to see if he can fit you into the quote he is preparing for us.

I realise this is very far in advance and fairly loose, but it's our first time shipping and I am loathed to leave it and be disappointed.

PM me if you have further questions.

Any mention of the Stelvio Pass gives me a semi

Done the Stelvio pass in 2010 myself on a hired GS 1200, in fact that week in the Alps was the best trip I've ever done bar none.

There where a few guys on another forum that I subscribe to done something like this last year and hired a lorry and took 12 bikes over and I was going to suggest the same. I've copied a link to there thread below.

P.S. I'd go back to the Alps in a heart beat, I even managed to get the pannier of the GS scraping on the road on the corners.
