Foreign Service Officer Test Forums

I was curious if anyone had any knowledge of how motorcycles are handled in the FS. In other words, my spouse and I would prefer to bring with us a motorcycle (or two) rather than an automobile. Obviously, this probably depends on the post, but for those that are safe enough to travel by motorcycle, will the State Department help with shipping if we do not bring a car?

Thanks!

I think they are handled as part of your household effects and shipped as such. Emissions problems may exist at certain posts, or it may be convenient for repair and parts to buy the bike there. Either way, yes, you can get your bikes to post.
