Looked at Tentspace great idea but don't see any pins in the whole of Italy.

Thanks for that so £250 covers my bike to be brought back but it may be borderline as if the price of the bike is less than the repatriation then it stays in Italy. So not sure what their figure is to transport bike back. As for costs of accommodation I really need to keep it down to minimum. Not sure I can book Airbnb on my phone will have to give it a trail run. Italy doesn't have cheap hotel chains like France unfortunately. My plan is to ride the whole length of the country. I cannot camp as I can only fit a small bag on the back of the bike. Also am I being dim I want to plan a route once I am on the road with my TomTom Rider does this mean I have to do this at home, that I cannot do it on the road? It has a plan a thrill setting where I can tap and set a route but it seems to want to be a circular route ie take me back to where I started!? Any ideas

Hi Guys, Am thinking of taking my street triple (no panniers!) to Italy anything I need to know. I am trying to find a company to bring my bike back if the need arises but maybe I should just ride the thing and worry about breakdown later, does anybody take you off the motorway free if 'breakdown' covered? also I don't like booking places in advance like to be free, are there any recommend places under £70? Some bikers seem to have too much money eg-Grand Hotel Montesilvano £110!= 1month £1000 on a bed alone
