Anyone willing to share Ireland address for motorcycle registration?
Is there anyone out there with a permanent address in Ireland willing to let a fellow traveler use their address for motorcycle title and registration purposes?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so feel free to redirect me if need be.
Here's the long story behind the call for help.
I've been in contact with Martin from the Motofeirme in Ireland about getting a low budget motorcycle to tour with during my summer trip to Europe. If you're unfamiliar with who he is, he has helped tons of foreign riders purchase, register, license, and insure motorcycles for trips in Europe.
From what I've gathered from our conversation, in the past he's helped most foreign riders by putting his address on the titles of the bikes they choose to purchase in Europe so that they can be registered in Ireland. From there, insurance and green cards can be esstablished for the bike easily.
Recently he's ran into an issue with using his address to title low budget bikes for riders. At the end of the trip, what started out as a cheap used bike, is worth even less than it's small price tag was before. This makes abandoning the bike, instead of selling it before the rider departs from the traveled country, much more appealing than what it otherwise would be.
This has left Martin with numerous bikes turning up all over the place with his address on the title. Because of this, and because of the budget I have for my trip, he's suggested that I find someone willing to let me use their address to title and register the motorcycle under. While I feel that the likelyhood that I'll abandon the bike is very slim, I certainly respect Martin's wishes and understand where he is coming from. That is why I am reaching out to you guys for help.
