He got lucky ,, I let all of Korea know that he was coming here ,, He went to North Korea before the shooting of the S.Korean tourist and shutting down of Kum Gang Mountain Tour ,, he talked to Pablo, head of Harley Korea, who arranged his bike in a covered truck drove through the DMZ to Kum Gang resort,, unloaded his bike and drove around the compound ,, then back to south in the covered truck again.
You are not allowed to travel alone in North Korea period. Most of all on a bike.
In 2004 Korean Harley riders were allowed to ride their bikes from south to north through the DMZ,, some 80 of us ,, to Kumg Gang, which is about 100KM north of Sokcho. That was it ,, the end.
Yes you can go to North Korea as a part of a European or US tour group.
