Hi Brett,
Thanks for the info and details of your experiences. I have also emailed the master of this type of trip - Peter Forwood, and he responded with a very encouraging email that pretty much said: "It can be done, you can figure it out along the way".
Since my original post, my bike has left on its journey to Bangkok, I am following it soon, leaving in a week and meeting up with it a week after that.
From my research, my first leg will most likely end with the bike stored in Cambodia, as from the reports I have read, they do not bother with import paperwork at most borders, and unless things change I should be able to ride out with it at some undetermined future time. But as Peter said, I'll know better when I'm there, and worst case I will have to ship the bike back.
If anyone else has experiences where it is possible to store bikes for significant amounts of time, please feel free to add to this thread. I may start some kind of webpage about it if we get a lot of info.
Thanks,
Dominik.
