If you use a flybynight, sure. If you use one of the big boys, it will be where it should be, when it should be, give or take. > Fly bike out, sea frieght it back (about 5500ukp to sea frieght) I hope there is a nought too many on that number.

In addition to all the useful stuff everyone else will provide, I'll just recommend the fish and chips in Morro Bay. -- Jeremy R1200RT

You can hire a car for say �200 or so per week. Bad form I know, but I've just done some googling and yes, it is very much cheaper to take your own bike -- Malc Rusted and ropy. Dog-eared old copy.
