Permanent or holiday home address is the normal requirement throughout Europe. Strangely enough the U.K. doesn't seems to require as much information. The DVLA ( Driving and Vehicle Licence Agency) only needs to know a permanent address where you can be contacted, so a friends address could be O.K. Where you might have problems is insurance, because insurance companies want to know everything, especially if you're trying to insure a bike with an overseas driving licence and no permanent addy. Many refuse. There are people who can help in Europe with sell and buy back schemes, even for new bikes. Here in France I would recommend you contact Laurent Dozias at Ride-in-Tours ( Voyagiste à moto & location moto et scooter) who does exactly this sort of thing. HU member Wheatwacker in Eire is also very helpful.
