Leaving motorcycle in Eastern Europe
I am travelling around the world with a Japanese registered motorcycle and currently I am in Europe.
I am thinking to leave my motorcycle in an Estern Europe country (such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania etc), but I am wondering if I can leave the motorcycle there and leave the counry without it.
I heard that for non-EU registered motorcycle, Bulgaria Custom put a stamp on the passport about the importation of the motorcycle.
However, my friend with Ecuadorian registered motorcycle has recently entered Bulgaria from Romania and did not get a stamp on his passport.
So could anyone tell me in which country I could leave my motorcycle and leave without it?
Also any information where I could store my motorcycle will be appreciated.
Thank you so much!

hello Saburo,
actually, I have also no idear of getting a stamp in your passport, when incoming with a motorbike. But I never heard about it. Interesting is the membership of EU or not. So Bulgaria and Romania are a members, Croatia not. But Bulgaria and Romania are no Schengen Countries ( Schengen Area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
Not much... but maybe a little help

Some countries stamps in passports have a car symbol on them. Many think it means they entered with a vehicle. It does not !
It means they entered at a road border.
You get the same stamp at those road borders whether you are a vehicle owner/driver, vehicle passenger, on a bus or coach, on a bicycle or on foot.

hi Saburo. I think there is no problem to leave your bike in Poland. You will not get any stamp into your passport. As a PL is in "Schengen countries" there is no border control when you entering from Slovakia, Germany, Czech. Im from Warsaw and have some space in my room for extra bike

No problems to keep your bike in Poland if you decide so I can connect you to my friend in Warsaw.
