To carnet or not to carnet.
This is Caron - girlfriend of the lovely Giles and the one who broke her hand in Sudan. My cast came off yesterday in Nairobi and I'm looking at buying a BMW 800GS to complete the journey on. (Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa). I'm being told that I can do this without a carnet as it would have Kenyan plates and would be classed as a local bike. Does anyone know if this is true? I'd need a yellow card apparently. Then the bike is in such good nick I'd like to ship it home. Anyone know anything about reregistering in the UK? Easy? Any catches like having to own it in the original country for more than a very short time? Thank you.
