Dear Gerald
How are you doing? nice to hearing from you :-)
as a matter of fact am still looking to find someone to take my bike to Iran but nothing done yet :S
by the way, which city do you want to go first by your arrival? if you would like to start your bike journey from Isfahan, I recommend you to cycle from there to Yazd and then to Shiraz, the road is much safer than Isfahan to Shiraz :-) you can see 2 different cities on your way and the roads are not that much busy as Isfahan shiraz is, anyway.
Hope to hearing from you soon
take care
P.S. would you plz tell me if there is any possibility for you to do me any favore about the bike??
