Keep in mind the cost of a new LHD headlamp.

not to mention the swap of clutch lever and accelerator between the two sides of the handlebar...


Seriously:
I moved to Italy (from Dubai) not long ago. And I would have liked to move my bike (a gorgeous royal enfield) too.

Indeed I thought, initially, it would be easy to manage the Italian Complexity

Then, I delved into the bureaucracy, rules, norms, clauses, including the (many) hidden ones.

and this is the end of the tale: only thing I brought twith me:


The (duplicate) key as a beloved memory, comfortably stored in my pocket.

I am strongly encouraging you to sell your GS in UK

At whatever price you may close the deal, I promise you, you are not going to waste t as much money and time as if you move the bike.

Moreover you will not lose the fate of our country hospitality, and surely your liver will remain at current size

More important: you CANNOT keep your original license plate in Italy for more than 90 days. After that, you MUST "nationalize" getting an Italian license plate that you're, probably, not going to get if the bike is rusty and not well kept (the Motorizzazione has to inspect thorougly your bike before giving you the Italian plate: lights, brakes, emissions, tyres, exaust, turning signals will be inspected and tested)

Listen to slow_ahead: not worth the time, money and loss of health.

The bike has been through the UK MOT every year and never had any problems. There are spots of rust all over the frame around the rear end but I think it is cosmetic, I don't think it has weakened the frame, as yet. When I bought the bike I was commuting on it 300 miles/week all year round. I bought it in November and by next spring it had rust. I actually had the frame resprayed (or replaced, I don't remember) under warranty but it just rusted again. The bike has always been kept in a garage. My car stands outside all year round, gets driven in all weather and is not rusty. I was not very impressed with the quality of BMW paintwork especially as it is an expensive bike and is supposed to survive anything. Just not the UK it seems.

I am quite positive you mean waste.
We have waist champions here but our friend here did mention only his age,not his weight.

Ecciaragione, ciai. Rimbambito, io, Ziocan!

Waste, corretto il post

(sul mio waist, belly, weight, e via discorrendo, meglio dimenticare)
