I was just talking about doing that route (although riding down through France) last week.
Would have been great to ride down to the MotoGP in Portugal next month!!

Vianno do Castello in Portugal is lovely, you'll probably have to pass through it on your way down the coast from the North.

Very jealous of you!!

We usually have a selection of screwdrivers & allen keys, multi-tool thingy, some ultraseal (if not already in the tyres), a list of ducati (& triumph) dealers, European breakdown card, gaffer tape, duct tape.

Don't know where to stop in Portugal, but if you find somewhere, let us know, we're thinking of doing similar run next year!

As above general tools in case of silly loosening and cableties. AA or rac cover. But above all have a great time on your travels too clear your head and bring us back some of your memories on a camera.

Wish you well.:D:D

Hi, I've been over on the Santander ferry a couple of times but never headed west, If you decide to head south or to the east and the pyrenese then I can point you at some awsome roads.
