Store the bike along the trip.
Hi.
Anyone doing a trip like I am thinking off.
I am lucky to have a job where I work for 6-8 weeks and then free the same time.
I have started to think about to start the trip and then along then way store the bike and when I am free again, fly out and continiue.
Anyone done that?
Ask a bikeshop?
Couchsurfing and Warmshowers is not an option for me because thats for a short period off "B&B".
Best regards
StefanP

Many riders do that kind of travel!!
I know 2 germans start travelling that way...Store their motorcycles in Greece in a house garage for free for one year...
In Bulgaria also there is the motosapiens motocamp that many travellers store their motorcycles...
I dont know if there is a thread here in Horizons Unlimited for places that store motorcycles!
Is a nice idea to travel the world part by part!!

I have stored my bicycle with a bike shop in Bangkok and motorbike in Cape Town so it is quite possible, you could post a question to the relevant HU community and Thorntree cycling section asking for storage when you know where you will need it.

Most MCs have room to store a motorcycle. And reaching out on HUBB or ADVRider if you have an idea about rough locations where you need storage should yield some response as well.

I stored my bicycle at a campsite in northern Morocco for a couple of weeks when I took the bus to Marrakech. The owner was happy to oblige. Other sites may well be too, assuming they have space.

I would think a warmshowers host would be receptive to the idea.. if they have space available.
And I'd also contact a local HU community with the request.
If you don't ask you'll never know. And by asking you open others upto the gift of giving.
