Cool, that's good they've given you the option of crating. It seems the better of the two as when I finally located my bike in Dili it was in the back of a container wedged between pallets of Pringles and all sorts of stuff.
I did only go for the one month visa and while I don't regret it as I had a great time trying going across, it would be nicer to do it a little more relaxed. To get a two month visa some people were just being asked to write letters explaining why. My advice is don't even mention the bike if you don't have to. Like I siad, they gave me all sorts of lectures at the embassy about taking a bike through. But I figured they were just immigration, not customs as they didn't have a clue what a carnet was. Which was, if I've not mentioned, stamped going into Indo.
Hope that helps.
