bike storage over seas!???
Hi all,
my wife and i and our 2 boys will be embarking on a round the world trip spanning about 5 years, BUT... it will be 2-3 months on the road, fly home work for 9 months then head back to the bike where ever that may be at the time and continue on,
reason... The kids still need to attend school and we dont have the money to home school and spend years with out an income!
how does one work out storage?, will obviously be happy to pay but just want some ideas , i know its been done before, and the bike/sidecar rig isnt worth huge money so its no skin of our back by trusting it in some one ells care, its just a tool to see the world to us, .
James

One way is to ask on the HU community for the country or city you hope to leave it if there is anywhere it can be stored, I have found the communities very helpful and left my bike in South Africa with someone on there.
The one thing to be aware of is if the bike has been brought in on a carnet (CDP) or a temporary importation permit (TIP) it will need to be get out before that expires or there will be a problem when you leave that country. In theory if it is in on a CDP the owner should not leave the country without it but it is possible as long as it is not written into your passport, a CDP also only allows for a 180 day stay in any country.
You will have to plan your trip around which country you can leave it in then find storage in that country, quite possible but not straightforward.

Bike storage in Southern Europe
Wonder if anyone knows where to store a US registered bike in southern FR or E. My aspiration is to not be constrained to riding during the warm season only. Have stored my bike in DE, which works great but is limited by the inclement winters. Have tried to put the bike on the Autozug to/from Narbonne, but it has not been an ideal solution.
Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.
