motorcycle storage in russia
 

i will be ridding for 2 months in europe then i wanna cross to russia and put the bike in storage there for 1 year, anyone done this before or know any company or bmw dealer that offers storage ?

When you enter Russia with a vehicle, you fill out a temporary importation form. IIRC there's a time limit for that, and they'll know about it when you attempt to exit the country. Basically, to store a bike in Russia for a year, you will have to import it and pay excise - or bring it in as cargo, officially manifested as a set of spare parts.

Why do you want to store the bike in Russia, not Europe?

After you decide on what to do with customs, if you still want to leave the bike for any period you can do it with any moto dealer for a very modest price. It's very common in winter. I have mine stored at the dealership (Ducati Russia). Warm, safe, clean and they'll keep the battery charged for you.
PM me if you need advice or help in Moscow. ;)

Actually there are some reports saying that now temporary import in custom union is 12 months.
I don't know if it is true or not, or if it is true only at some of the borders.
I am waiting to have some confirmation about that...

Don't rely on Customs Union rules/rumors :) They can change on a whim... like how you're not allowed to enter Belarus and proceed into Russia on foreign plates any more. Basically, don't base your plans on Russian laws/enforcement practices staying favorable for any length of time.
