I'm in the very early stages of planning a two month tour in the US. As I have friends in Minneapolis it makes a certain amount of sense to see the start of the IBR ( I did think about waiting and hope for a place in 2019), so that would be the start or end of the trip.
Renting a bike for two months is probably too expensive which leaves me two options.
I can ship my own BMW GSA and find a firm that is willing to insure foreign citizens.
or
Purchase a reasonable, low mileage used machine for around $10,000 and either sell at the end of the tour or find someone willing to store the bike ready for future trips. I would need help registering (licensing?) and insuring the bike as I think I would need a US address.
It seems to me that the IBA NPT makes a good basis for the trip.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks
