Hi DougieB,
The deal is with foreigners, not with vehicles. In Iran it won't be so much of a problem as there's money for police vehicles. In PK it'd be a lot more interesting as the police don't have any money (for diesel) or for vehicles (or wheels for vehicles or...). I was obliged to accept an armed pillion for much of the Taftan-Quetta run otherwise I wasn't going anywhere in a hurry -- no petrol for the police m/c either though I was asked if I wanted to cough up. Not sure what you'd do with a bicycle. Depending on your daily mileage you might spend a lot of nights at police checkpoints too.
Cheers,
Ian
