  Have you got a price for just the bars (minus stem) please?

  Not sure if this is too late to be of use, but two years ago I found that the Bilbao ferries don't seem to take foot/bike passengers as a rule, whereas the Santander ferries do.

  There was a fair few of us when I came back that way, as well as more motorbikes together than I've ever seen in my life. Honestly there must have been 300+ boarding.

  Realised that my Ortlieb bar bag needs a stem to attach to bars which the loop bars don't have.

  Long shot, but does anyone have a bar bag that would be compatible for sale?

  How's your planning for this coming along? I'm looking to do the same trip starting next week (with absolutely zero planning) over 8-10 weeks. Pretty excited/scared.

  Ah yes - just after posting that I found KT_Bee and PhilPub's posts about that area - there's a lot to read up on, thanks

  Anyone got any advice for Pacific North West of US? I'm looking at booking flights to go out there in the next week or so, for 8-10 weeks. I've previously done a road trip from Vancouver -> LA so not that bothered about the big cities and would like to spend more time in the national or state parks.

  Looks like I might have to fly to Vancouver (from Manchester) and then head south into Washington and then Oregon.

  I'm not sure whether it's worth flying back home from the North West or go down the coast to SF or LA and fly home from there (to London or Manchester)

  Anybody done similar or have any advice? Cheers
