Howdy,
From Khartoum, Sudan some friends in a RHD landcruiser with trailer got a 3 day transit visa very easily. They asked the consul explicitlyabout RHD/LHD issues and were told it wasn't an issue.
I almost thought I had one until the consul asked me if I was on a motorcycle and I did not want to lie to him. The registration number of the vehicle IS in the visa issued in Khartoum.
The consul (who was very pleasant and helpful) said I can apply for an excemption to the "no moto" rule but that would take 3 weeks. He said also I should put my motorcycle in my friends' truck (not actually possible) but in my passport it would be the trucks reg. Number, not the bike's. He then said clearly "you must not ride your motorcycle".
So in order to avoid yet more paperwork hassles on this leg of my trip, I will go via Egypt. That should avoid any paperwork hassles, hey? ; )
