We arrived at Sharjah around 8.00am in the morning and we did not leave the docks until mid-day - this was after some clerk had made a typing error on our documents and we could not go until it was corrected.
It was only a 30 mile ride to the Dubai Cargo Village and Cathay Pacific.
Cathay were all prepared for the bike and had set everything up for us to air freight it to Oz.
