Bought bike in France - HELP
Hi,
I'm an Australian bike enthusiast who thought it would be good to ride a bike from France to and around UK. After all equiires, it seemed it would be relatively easy - WRONG!! They now tell me they can't insure me because i have no French licence and they can't register in my name because I am not a permenant resident.
I seem to be able to get insurance thru Alessie (has anyone dealt with them, seem a bit dodgey???) but only for EU countries excluding France. I am happy to ride to UK without insurance and get there (i have UK residency) but don't know if i can cross the border without papers or a green card?
I am staying with someone in Paris and have their address details, but will have to see if it works. I have thought about registering/insuring in someone elses name, but seems insurance wouldn't cover me and thought i may have problems crossing borders if its all in someone elses name?
Any body have any experience/ideas? U wouldn't think it needs to be this difficult!!
Jake
