More information
Hi again Ken:
Here are some things I have learned:
1. It is possible to get a "Business" visa to stay in Russia for 90 days. However, from what I have read the 30 day visa should give more than enough time to get to Vladivostok without hurrying.
2. Taking a motorcycle from Vladivostok into South Korea by ferry is no problem. The biker is required to buy insurance (probably on the ferry), and is not allowed on the four-lane toll roads.
3. Shipping a motorcycle from Vladivostok to Europe is quite expensive. Apparently some people have had success finding another rider who would like to ride the bike back for them. This sounds like a terrible idea to me.
4. There is a motorcycle shop near Seoul that does long term motorcycle storage for people in South Korea. I am confident that there will be lots of places in Japan that would do the same thing.
That is all I know for now.
