Hi Scutty, I'd like to say yes but since posting up we have been getting worried about what's happening in Canada at he moment. That situation needs to unfold further before we start booking as it could almost definitely be a show stopper. Your right about the bikes though...!!

Two Brits, two custom CRF500L travel bikes will be flying the flag over in Canada attempting the full East to West TCAT. Rear shock ride heights were set literally moments before crating up, seems to be a common theme with most aspects as we draw closer to flight day..!! ImageImageImageImageImage

Wow...All three UK bikes together for the first time, that would be ironic considering we obviously all live in the UK...!!!

We're shipping not flying them John. Couldn't quite find a low enough fly-ride setup cost to temp us for the more convenient flying route but I have too say its been relatively hassle free so far and more a pleasure seeing them off in there crates... might end up flying them back though depends again on comparisons at the time.
