Had some business......
 

.....on the Costa Calida today! So what the hell.....I took the bike! :cool:

Yes you guessed it.....it's bike photos! :lol:

Did 300 miles in total from Huescar to Cartagena to La Manga to Mazarron to Totana to Lorca to Velez Rubio to Orce to Huescar!

A stop for coffee in Barranda (Murcia).

And for those compulsive worriers about Brit plate vehicles....I got three sets of friendly waves today from Guardia Civil motorcycle patrols! :thumbup:

Read it and weep you car boys! :lol:

Re: Had some business......

Re: Had some business......

Re: Had some business......

Re: Had some business......
 

Nice to see you're back to being the bike bore we all know and love - all that mamby pamby touchy feely stuff you posted at the weekend had me worried you were going over to Matts side.
That said - Yawn!

Re: Had some business......

Re: Had some business......
 

Get that pitiful car out of my bike thread!

Re: Had some business......

Re: Had some business......
 

Ha! Its not even your bike ..... its Cheeky Twats!

Re: Had some business......
 

and its a little ironic that you would have a hairdressers car isn't it?

Re: Had some business......
 

Now now baldy!

Re: Had some business......
 

You're the poor man's Clarkson you are! :unsure:

Re: Had some business......
 

Are we talking bikes again? :p

P.S. Notice what it says on the back of that guys jacket :rofl::p

Re: Had some business......
 

Is that extreme ?

Re: Had some business......
 

No, just someone interested in some airbrushing for his bike.

It's actually a club.....the "GOB" Club ;)

That's our bike in the photo.

Re: Had some business......
 

Bike looks good. ;-)

Re: Had some business......
 

Now there must be a few members of that club on here :p

Re: Had some business......
 

Not me.....

Re: Had some business......
 

Hi, can i pick your brains?, we are bringing our suzuki GSX R 1000 over with us next month, its the TT LTD EDT, so very precious, we also have a private plate on it, so dont want spanish plates. I know from a previous thread that e-bikes insurance covers you abroad and fortunately we are insured with them, but, what happens when the bike needs an MOT? (soz forgot what it called over there) if you havent changed it to spanish registered. Where do we stand legally then??

Re: Had some business......
 

Your UK insurance will only cover you for holiday travel over here while you still are resident in the UK.
As soon as you are in Spain 3 months you are a resident of Spain and have to apply for a residencia certificate, then your vehicles will need to be matriculated to Spanish plates, ITV and insurance.
Xtreme is flouting the law and runs the risk of having his friends bike cubed and probably getting himself matriculated by his ex mate.

Re: Had some business......
 

where is that report button?

Re: Had some business......
 

Have you been asleep? :D

Re: Had some business......
 

nope, outside building a pair of oak gates.

Re: Had some business......

Don't listen to Mitzy....he's a http://www.maximumbikes.com/forums/i...es/wank4az.gif

In fact....here's a recent shot of him dealing with Spanish Bureaucracy!

Mitzy>>>>>>http://www.maximumbikes.com/forums/i...anana121or.gif<<<<<<Spanish Bureaucracy

Anyway, all you need to do is get it back to the UK for an MOT once a year....so when you bring it out make sure you've got a full ticket.

And only show your passport if you ever get pulled....which you never will on a bike. I've been here two years and all the cops just wave and acknowledge me.

Yes, they are interested in illegal Brit cars on the Costas, but motorcycles are viewed totally differently.

And if anybody can show me a link for a Brit bike getting impounded and crushed by the authorities then I'm all ears. Until you can, all you are able to do is speculate wildly on a hypothetical situation.

Bottom line......make sure your bike is legal in the UK.....and you'll be fine.

Re: Had some business......
 

So let me get this right................you are actively encouraging a poster to break the law?

Re: Had some business......
 

Ere you blind numpty ...... I didn't say anything on the subject, it was the bloke you keep ass lickin' up to .... JDR!!! :lol:

Re: Had some business......
 

Actually, please see rule 3, site rule ;)
No ones saying you don't get away with it, JDR is just telling you the legal ramifications (not hypothetical) because thats his responsibility as a mod on here. What happens after that is your responsibility

Re: Had some business......
 

:lol::lol::lol:

I can't say that about jdr......he's a Top Man! :lol:

OK.....let's try again.....

jdr's a Top Man! This is him>>>>>>>>:cool:

(I think I got away with it) :unsure:

Re: Had some business......
 

Me again, did,nt mean to start a war of words. The bike is only 6 months old so doesnt need an MOT here yet, is that the same in Spain? also the bike is in my husbands name and he wont be living permantly in Spain as he will continue to work in the UK for at least the first year until our business in Spain is paying enough to cover our mortgage. The bike will be stored whilst he his in England, does this make a difference. We dont want to break any laws but we paid a lot of money for our private plate and dont want to throw that money down the pan. :unsure:

Re: Had some business......
 

Sounds like you got a great get-out clause to me squelch!

But I'm no expert on the legalities.....only the illegalities! :lol:

Re: Had some business......
 

I can never understand why men get so bloody worked up about bikes and cars :blink:

Re: Had some business......
 

With you on that one:D

Re: Had some business......
 

I can't understand the car thing either Sam.

But bikes....that's a different thing altogether!

Driving a car is like living your life looking through a TV screen.....riding a bike is living your life! 'Nuff said! :cool:

Re: Had some business......
 

Im looking forward to Mitzy and RM`s reply to that one :lol:

Re: Had some business......
 

Sam....does it get any better than this?
