Here is an update from MuzToo:
As a travel company, we have a partner in Iran with quite good connections to different departments in the government. This partner company prepared our trip through Iran and asked for special permission for our two groups who are currently on our Silk Road Tour ( https://muztoo.ch/seide2041/ ) to drive with bigger bikes through Iran. It looked all positive and every one involved in preparing the trip thought that it will work out to enter Iran on our bikes.
At the end it did not !! Two groups needed to put all the bikes in trucks . . .
The bikes will be driven to the Turkmenistan boarder and the groups will have a cultural travel experience on a bus. I hope they like it . . .
Big bummer on all levels.
However. Our partner in Iran knows that there is a debate in the governmental departments that deal with such matters about getting rid of the rule banning motorbikes with bigger engines. Which means that we all need to wait until there is a decision. Of course no one knows when the decision will be made and if it will be made at all.
In the mean time, MuzToo is thinking about other options for our tour from Switzerland to Osh Kyrgyzstan . . .
vremya pokazhet (time will tell) as the Russian saying says . . .
With hope for better news
Peter
