ICMV and assistance at checkpoints
We were told that it was not necessary, but we obtained an ICMV (the translated certificate of our bike registration, from the AA in the UK).
It has proven to be useful at police checkpoints through Russia, as we hand it over rather than our original or copies of bike registration papers (we are less concerned about losing the ICMV). It was also very helpful at Russian customs when declaring our bike details, especially if you cannot speak Russian.
For 7 GBP it was a cheap investment, we think.
