Storing a motorcycle in Astana, Kazakhstan
Hello!
So after 13,500kms covered I have finally given in to the weather in Astana, Kazakhstan I spent the last 3 nights in a fire station 300kms west of Astana having to rewire my entire electrical harness on my Royal Enfield. After I fixed the bike I rode to Astana where it nearly hit -10c and with snow, constantly freezing visor I finally decided maybe it isn't the best time to try and ride to Vladivostok, if I had more time and money I feel like anything is possible however the enjoyment factor was taking a pretty big dive.
I posted frantically nearly a couple of weeks ago looking for ideas, plans change. I have been in contact with various storage companies here in Astana and haven't gotten any replies of yet.
I came into Kazakhstan on a 6 month import for the bike apparently that can be extended, I am not exactly sure what the maximum time is for leaving it here I spent all of today at the various foreign offices nobody seems to know anything, I visited the Canadian embassy which acts as the Australian embassy and I have someone there finding out how long I can leave it here and the costs involved.
So in short I am happy to work out paperwork when I get home but right now I am looking to store the bike, if anyone on here can point me to anywhere/anyone they know who can store a bike for an extended period up I will be very grateful.
Thanks Tim.
