Entering Iran on bike not registered in my name

[Lois]

Hello people,

I wonder if anyone has the answer to this tricky question!

I am hoping to borrow a bike in the autumn to ride from Europe to Iran. But I won't be the registered keeper. Will that be a problem when entering Iran (or indeed, any other non-Euro countries)?

Any thoughts/experiences gratefully received.

Hi Lois

Just went this route in September last year. Iran people didn't really care, so that just leaves Turkey assuming your going that way. I had to pay insurance at border. Getting out of Turkey was much harder than getting into Iran I must say.

I took my own bike and the only place I remember asking for original registration docs was Turkey and Thailand.

Here .. I'll bore you with the draft bit, still working on Iran episode.

Thought you were doing a thing with Compass over here soon?

Cheers
Steven

I suggest to travel with documents who are legal. Better to do more than less, to avoid hassle.

I hope google Translate will work for you.

Much appreciated. Will see if I can get the bike temporarily registered in my name. And yes, I will be in Tassie soon in November with Compass Expeditions, hosting another all-girl tour - the Tasmanian Devilettes!
