Not demeaning at all, or certainly not meant to be demeaning.
The humor was in the extended misunderstanding of something that--as you said--"is not really complicated, just complex!!! " It's not always easy for any "complex" local procedures to be communicated and understood. In the case of that thread, it was funny because it went on for so long.
The dinner suggestion was simply to honor the amount of time/ work that some
HUBB users, including you, put in to help another solve a problem.

Thanks for your help.

(A bit of digression from this thread...I reviewed (your) other linked HUBB thread.
That has to be among the funniest I've read on HUBB in several years.
I hope the OZzie bloke solves his problem; he should at least take St.Rory, you and a number of others to dinner if he ever makes it over.)
Your welcome: the other thread is now closed down - I hope it survives i.e. doesn't get completely deleted, because it does contain some interesting insights into human mis-understandings and ................ well, things like that.
There is always the other sticky thread in Trip Paperwork about insurance issues.

"Oh dear," very confusing (tracking multi-thread posts).
I hope that warrigal 1 understands that my ROFL comment was not directed at him personally--if that's what he thought--and that he gets the UK vehicle sorted.
Back to this thread's regularly scheduled content.

Oh my good god. You mean to say, with all the heated discussions re this on THAT famous thread, you still haven't worked out that this is simply another term for European Green Card cover?!

as I said its a 5 or is that 6 step process

UK address (suplied By Rory ?) thank you very much

Insurance (3rd party), well I have quote 250 to 270 GBP, But I can't pay it. the Tranaction is being Blocked.

Road Tax UK (step 3)

MOT Inspection UK (step 4)

other insurance on the vehcile (step 5) (I might have to skip this one.) too expensive.

Green card Insurance for the European continent (step 6)

ilesmark I thought I was paying for that in 3rd party (UK)

really confusing system you European have.


pesonally I have asked the admin here to cut the other topic right Back to before Tony P , Walkerbout and Ilesmark started abusing me.

That is Demeaning me Online.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
