As a matter of fact, your post just reminded me that I haven't seen that motorcycle since last October - dammit, I must have forgotten it in Europe once again!

HA!
Now that's the way to temporarily store your bike overseas during the less favourable riding season(s). I've done it myself, at least half-a-dozen time .. all around the world.
A nice bottle of 'duty-free' to the garage owner/mechanic always sweetens the deal on the return trip too. No problem of course, especially as you probably flew-in to collect your bike just the day before.
Q: @ Michael, have you ever had to a pay pre-agreed storage fee to the garage owner in addition to the servicing costs? I have, on 2-3 occasions, the cost of which varied between $8 - $20 per month. BUT on those occasions I kept the duty-free 'gift' all to myself!
