own a motorbike

I have taken a notion recently to drive a motorbike from the south of France across the border into Spain, across to the west coast, down through Portugal, ending up at Gibralta. There is no good reason why i have chosen this particular journey,; it just seems like a really good idea. Of course, in order to do this i would need to aquire a motorbike. I would also need to clear some time, put aside some money and then do it. Thats quite a lot of obstacles. Which makes it all the more worthwhile of a goal. How long would it take? How much would it cost? If I bought a bike in Marsielles, howmuch would i have to spend and whats the second hand bike market like in Gibralta?

I dont need a motorbike. I dont have a great passion for them either. Motorbikes occupy very little, if any of my day to day thoughts. But I’ll be hanged if I want to reach the gates of heaven without having been Steve McQueen for a day. I want one and thats it.
