My advice, sell the bike before you move to Spain and buy another there.

The bikes out here are very expensive secondhand so its easier to use a UK bike in both countries for now can't use foreign registered bike in Uk with Uk address etc.It's not quite so stressful as yours is .Bike I bought is almost standard so not much to change back.All the bits I've changed I've kept originals once its mot'ed and registered here I can change it back.Triumph want £120 for COC.

Welcome back to bikes! I hope you don't have the same hassles importing it to Spain as I'm having with mine in Austria. Mind you, I'd expect the Spanish to be a bit more laid back than the Austrians... 

At the moment we spend less than 180 days in Spain a year so we can use the car and bike the same as in England as long as its taxed mot'ed and insured.When come to live here permanently the fun starts as they both have to be the same spec as when they were built that is to say completely standard as per the original certificate of conformity.We only have 30 days after we arrive fully in Spain to get vehicles registered by having a new mot test and completing a test similar to an SVA in UK.Headlights are probably the only thing to change at great expense and fog lights on car.The biggest challenge then is to get them to do it within the 30 day time frame as we all know everything in Spain is manana otherwise we pay a large tax bill for importing our own goods.Of course what the new rules will be when we have left the EU is anybodies guess.

Alright bob how are you and your lad?

Things are a bit quieter round here since Facebook and real life got in the way but some of us can't  let it go.

Were fine thanks Dom. Adam's just a bit bigger now.After all he's 26 now so not the small lad he was.
I thought I'd look in to see if the site was still here although it does look very quiet.Like you say real life gets in the way.

Not sure if the site was still here and looking at the dates of thread posting there does not seem a lot going on.Now I have just bought a 2015 Street Triple 675 RS after a 3 year break from bikes.First time ever without a bike since leaving school in 1973.Having bought a house in Spain a few years ago for my future retirement it seems a shame not to enjoy the sunshine out here for the summer.
Looking through the threads there are some familiar names.

Where did you get the Speed from?

Portman Kawasaki in Guildford

Last Kwak was a 2012 Z1000SX sold in 2014 to put towards future retirement house in Spain and now have recently bought a 2015 Triumph Street Triple RS to return to biking.

Thats quite cheap compared  to trying register a uk  bike in Spain which is over €800.on top of that the bike must be exactly as manufactured no extras or after market parts. So i would just pay it its about the same price if not less than to register a new vehicle.Its a lot easier than getting any comeback later on.

I have a green seat hump for 2007/08 P7/8 for sale is in good condition £40 p+p included or £35 collected.
