    Hello mate! We dont know each other but i've red some of your posts about panniers and seats and other stuff.

    I'm a Portuguese native living in London and I'm willing to give you directions where to go and what to do both in Spain and Portugal, if you need the info. I used to be a salesman and I've lived all around the country, so I know it prety well. Might also get a place for you to stay in Lisbon for free. Let me know if this interests you.

    Cheers

    wowee Xander, I am not jealous, no I am not honest.

    Have a great trip, I might follow your tyre tracks in about 3-4 years time.

    Well, I dont like to consider it a XRV thing... I would do it for someone who's got the courage (and financial income ) to do such a big journey on a bike.

    Unfortunattely, all this good will rides a one way street if you're a unsubscribed member in the "insert coin to pump your tyres" land.

    Hope you really hate it, ( not really ) I have thought about doing something like that when I retire, sell my home and just live on the bike touring the world until I die of boredom.
