Shipping & storing a CDN bike in UK & other
Hi all, I am new here. I am hoping that some of you can help me out with pointing me in the right direction.
Here is the goal:
1. Ship my bike over to the UK in July 2024 (by air) - maybe mid to late July.
2. Ride around the UK in the summer.
3. Store the bike at family and friends in the UK for the next 11 months.
4. Return to the UK in July 2025 - pick up the bike and travel to Norway and Scandinavia and ride for 2 months.
5. Ship the bike back home to Canada in September 2025 - possibly from the UK but not necessarily.
Questions:
1. What has to be done to ensure that the bike can be ridden (insurance, TIP, clearing customs etc.)?
2. How long can I store it? I read 6 -12 months but it is unclear.
3. As the UK is no longer in the European Union are there considerations I should address to ride in the EU and Scandinavia?
4. Do I need to continue to have my moto insured back home in Canada as well as in the destination?
4. Any glaring problems I am somewhat overlooking - all just tourism - no importation etc.
Thanks in advance to all responses, much appreciated.
