motorbikes in Georgia??
Hi to all out there,
I heard some great stories about Georgia and Armenia and I decided to check things out for myself. Unfortunately I have read that there are almost no motorbikes for rent in Georgia. I'm interested to hear from other travellers if they agree with this or if some have succeed in renting motorbikes in Georgia. Ideally I would like to pick up a bike in Tbilisi.
I'm looking forward to your replies (and hopefully with some good news).
Best regards,
Roland

In central Asia motorbikes do not exist, riding through tibs many of the children had never seen a bike before.
Tiffany's bike also gathered large crowds next to mine.

Tbilisi Motorbikes
HI Roland
Those two countries are definitely worth seeing by motorbike. As Leon (Fallonken) says, there really aren't many bikes in Georgia. Have you tried contacting the Tiblisi HU Community?
I'm sure you'll be able to track something down, though you may not be allowed to take it across the border into Armenia, I had a few problems with the Customs control point entering Armenia.
Perhaps another angle to try is
London2Tbilisi
they are an organisation similar to Mongol Rally - and as it's organised by a Georgian company, try asking them for contacts to rent a bike in Tibs.
Good luck.
