Nick,
Never heard of the 2 year rule, and I brought a 5 year old KTM and a 12 year old landcruiser into Egypt in recent years.
As far as minefields are concerned, technically you wont get near them without an army escort guy in the car, who theoretically knows where they are ( as if they stay put ? ). The Gilf/Uweinet (sp?) experts will tell you more.
In Libya all tourists need escort. Not sure how this works with bikes, but there is some info of a trip on Fessano tours website. Although as we were driving Ubari sand sea, I was wondering how any Libyan guide would keep up with a gang of decent desert bikers.
Got to dash. Check oil, water and tyres for a few 100km in the desert tomorrow. Life is tough.
