Fly bike from Pakistan to Istanbul
Has anyone flown their bike from somewhere in Pakistan to Istanbul? Having trouble getting an Iran visa so am unable to ride across. Is it possible from Quetta?

Hi ;
I recently transfered my motorcycle from Islamabad to Istanbul. The guy was advised to me by the turkish embassy staff and i found it quite ok. I didnt fill the proper section of HU until now since the motorcycle didnt arrive to Istanbul yet, and therefore the case is still not closed.
Everything included, i paid 1100 US$. From Quetta i dont know how much it would be but fro Quetta to Islamabad there is a train and you can load your bike into it.
His contact numbers are below but anyway i would suggest that you check from your embassy. Maybe they can recommend another name.
Nice trips ,
Erroll Beatty ... 0092 / 320 / 5105662 ...
This is his mobile number and he speaks very good english.

Is getting an Iran visa from Pakistan still a problem as I will need to pick one up from Islamabad in the next two months?
Might not be worth me flying my bike from Bangkok to Nepal if its going to be a problem.
