European Trip with a US License
Judging by the comments that go back many years, things have either changed significantly over time or like many customer service interactions, vary greatly 'depending on who picks up the phone'. So my question is... I'm planning a 4 month trip around Europe this summer. My twin already has a bike In England that I can use, it's insured "FOR HIM", taxed and MOT'd. I've had a bike license in the US for 8 years, but do not have a UK bike license. His current company will not insure foreign license holders (even though I'm a UK Citizen (not a resident)). Am I better off transferring the ownership of the bike into my name (to make border crossing / Police interaction easier) and trying to get insurance (bearing in mind I'm not a UK resident, nor do I have a UK Motorcycle license)? Or should I just get 'added' to my twins policy? Question is, which is cheaper and am I really going to get that much hassle if the bike is in my twin brother's name.
Sadly we're not identical or I'd consider just taking his license and f'it.
Cheers All
Chris
