Compulsory Green Card may be available at an AA office in a large Turkish City. I got mine for a year in Izmir - but that was in 1989. Things may have changed...

The Greeks will probably want to see it.

Do you have a carnet?

You can't get insurance for the BIKE for most of that trip. Liability - green card - should be arranged in your home country before you leave.

You DO need a carnet. AND you can't get a carnet for an Indian registered bike as a foreigner. Do some research on the site - "enfield, carnet" and start reading.

Insure it at each border, don't have an accident, and if it's written off/stolen then you've lost it...

That's my way, anyway!
