NZ traveller with similar issues
Guys,
I'm coming over (to the UK) from NZ in June, and am also looking to buy a bike. My plan however is to keep the bike i the UK for another trip next year aswell.
Despite being a UK Citizen I am having problems arranging insurance. It seems they only want to insure UK Residents, and apparently I no longer count!
I have a mate, with an address and a garage, but was reluctant to ask him to take on the hassle of buying, insuring and maintaining a bike for me.
I did think that if I bought it, he could insure it. But, I've been advised that having the V5 and insurance papers in different names will only cause problems when it comes to registering the bike each year and MoT's - does this sound like a genuine consideration?
I am open to solutions as I really thought this was going to be simple,
...but alas no... ...is anything these days?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
