I believe Silke from https://travelove.org/ recently left her motorbike in Iran for a while and then returned to continue her trip. I suggest you get in touch with her.
Thanks. I have just written them an email. Will get back when I hear from them.

Got this very informative email from Silke this morning:

"Good morning, Jakob!
Yes, I‘ve done it and I returned yesterday to my motorbike. I had to fly out for work reasons and leave the motorbike in a guesthouse in Isfahan.
When flying out, no one asked me about any vehicle, so I’m pretty sure they don’t have it related to you in their computer.
To come back, Germans are entitled to visa on arrival and I was told it’s better to apply for it online before. That’s what I did and it really speeds up the process when arriving at the airport. You don‘t need to have it, but I saw Italians waiting long at the visa office...
When entering Iran at an airport, you need to show that you have health insurance, covering you in Iran. Mine stated „worldwide“ and they didn’t accept it. I have read about this issue before, but my insurance was unable to provide a piece of paper with these 4 letters „Iran“ on it. If you don’t have it, you just get insurance at the airport for 15€/month.
Normally, you only get 30 days visa on arrival, but I asked nicely and got 60 days.
The whole process was very easy! Also when coming back no questions about my vehicle here.
So just fly to Denmark and come back, no problem!
Many greetings from rainy Isfahan,
Silke"

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
