MOVED POST crashed in russia - transport
end of july, i started what i hoped to be an RTW! i started from reston, virginia just outside washington, dc, drove to toronto, canada, flew with the bike to frankfurt, germany. then drove to russia through czech republic, Poland, and ukraine to meet my friends in rostov-on-don. long story short, few days later i crashed just outside of saratov on the way to kazakhstan border. a mini bus cut me off and i slammed to the back door. due to extensive damage to the bike, my injuries, and hard to meet schedule for the kyrgyzstan-china group border crossing, i had to call it off.
i was riding metallic orange 2010 BMW F800GS i just bought for this trip. the front of the bike is totally damaged and require a lot of parts. as the bike is not mobile, i'm weighing the option of shipping it to europe, maybe even USA and repair it there.
anybody know of such a service in russia? contact information would be great.
do i have to be with the bike during border crossing?
any information is greatly appreciated!
