    I'll have to come through Wales somewhere Wonda, either Pembroke or Holyhead.
    Also,there will be no reg. plate on the bike :eek:

    Not a hope.

    Rent a van, or get someone to pick it up.

    For me without a van, id get someone to pick it up for me.

    Well its usually the A55 that the cops set up home on, but if the bike dos not even have a reg plate I would not ride it on public roads.

    Yeah,I was hoping there would be some document I could get to cover me but apparently not.
    I've been onto a few couriers and also Aprilia Performance UK said they'll get a few quotes from UK companies.
    But so far after trying 3 here it looks like €360 to my door.

    Bike is paid for now so no going back now (and not a horse to be seen) :pac:

    I did the Ovelanders option too. Same price as above, but it was only when I got home to see it that I realised there were one or two, eh, extras!

    There was a box of spares and complete spare engine! No extra charge :)

    Could not recommend them highly enough. I couldn't go to see the bike. The guys in Memmingen did a once over when the bike was dropped off and because they knew what they were looking at, gave it the thumbs up, and did a call to reassure .

    Top blokes.

    Google Phil Gunn in Cork. He does regular trips to Europe and has a long history in biking circles. I've also used Overlanders. If your bike has no plates then just pay someone of the above names to do it for you.
