Yes You can
Gday Dominik,
We are doing just that.
We started in 2006, Korea/ Russia/ Mongolia/ Baltic States/ Western Europe.
We have stored the bikes in the EU (Germany) and return each year for 4/8 week trip.
2007 Czech/ Slovak/ Poland
2008 Pyrenees
2009 Bosnia/ Albania
2010 Greece/ Macedonia/ Kosovo
2011 Turkey/ Georgia/ Armenia
2012 Germany/ Czech
The bikes are Australian (Queensland) registered, which makes things alittle easier. We crossed from Russia into the EU at Estonia (took about 2 hours as they had to look up here Australia was!!!!!!)
On our travels we meet other riders who had left bikes in both Turkey and Armenia.
I understand that the limit is 12 months for Canada and the US (?).
I think we could have left the bikes in Korea for up to 12 months, but I am very vague about that now. I know the bikes are not link to the passport at all.
I am working on heading down to South America in 2014. Other threads suggest a limit of 8 mths for Argentina and 12 months for Uruguay.
I would appreciate if anyone has information on the time limts for other south amercian countries (so far my search on the HUBB has not turned up a relevant thread, but I am still looking).
If you can swing it, doing it in stages is a great way to go. We have done over 120Kms on the bikes so far. The first trip was in 2003 when we did London to Tokyo (via Iceland and Morocco).
Cheers
Brett
