MotorGP Jerez

[Billybantam]

Anyone going to the Motor GP on the 2/3/4 May that would be interested in riding down together drop me a message.

hi colin, i am a maybe. i went to valencia motogp camping last year and it was a good laugh. not a lot of sleep but a good laugh nevertheless. i will now start work on getting enough brownie points. i will keep you posted.  it might be an idea to open a new topic so its easier to see who's interested.

Just off topic guys can anyone tell me if it's worth bringing my FJR1300 down to Almeria to use when I am down there and possibly register it in Spain, I know it's hardly worth it with a car but would love my bike over there to use when over.   {quote}

hi billy bantam,  i brought over a uk bike and registered it here because i wanted this particular bike as it was a friends.it was a pain,so unless you're particularly attached to your fjr, i would just get one here.  i take it you will only be an occasional visitor. you have to do a lot of jumping through hoops and paying out to register a bike here. either that ride it down with with years t&t and enjoy!

Thanks Mark, Probably 5-6 times a year so as you say maybe look for a runabout over there.
Thanks BB

yes bikes got to be re moted uk ,( unless yev got an mot garage  ;D  )

Well that would be illegal Tetley  >:D, I take it Guardia can tell when the vehicle entered Spain so is there a max or min time it's allowed to stay over there assuming it's taxed etc. BB

as friend of min got knicked for wearing a seat belt........ 808 ,my youngsters at law school as an apprentice ,apparently the law is deffinatly an arse here  :o , ive had more pulls on spanish plates then i ever had on mi brit plates,and that was driving a 7  1/2 ton tipper  ;D

  Technically speaking you have 6 months as a non resident and then it MUST be imported and re registered, the cost of re registration can be quite steep, it all depends on the age and value of the bike, a "gestor" can sort it all out for you, it has to be examined by the ITV station in Lorca 30 miles away, headlight changed to a european  one, dipping the opposite way, then all you do is await the bill from the "Gestor" all the paperwork goes through Traffico office in Almeria city.  Basically it depends how much you love your biking!! and how deep your pockets are. :lol:

yer probably abought 600  800e to register it here ,if its say 10 years old,if you can get an ei certificate of conformity this will help, i think yer biggest pain might be insurance.
if yer non res and can tax & mot it i would keep it on brit plates and use it.


ive got some stuper bike stuff,but never bothered plate changing,instead i kept the bikes and bought an old sp reg gpx 600 wich to be honest is fast enough for me now plus its itv every 2 years,i keep the bike clean and its normaly just a light check,emmision check,sound check and brake check then ticket so no big deal,the insurance is 151 pa road tax is 50 pa.
somtimes i even get time to ride it  ;)

Thanks Tetley ,
If the bike has 12 tax and test would I need to get it back to UK after 12 months to have it done again as no tax without a current Mot etc as I assume you can't get an itv on a uk reg vehicle,

Don't under estimate that 125 Jim, its pretty nippy round those bends..... just wish I was there too.... only 9 weeks three days and I will be.... 

[Jim1544]

  Steve, when are you joining us for a Monday ride out ??? we promise not to "blow you into the weeds" on your 125, you younguns could probably show us oldies a thing or two, but when we stop for coffee, talk of AJS Norton and Matchless may confuse you a little!!!!!! :rofl: 10.30 am  every monday at Mora Oils petrol station.  regards, Jim( I can meet you in Almanzora 10.15 and ride in together)

[Colinandsue]

I'm not too worried about the bike it can be repaired and cleaned up..... it's you Steve....... you find it hard to stay on four wheels let a lone two........ :lol:

[steveconway24]

Poor Colin, working away and then reading all this about his new bike!

Seriously, its getting delivered, in a van.   I promise I won't even start it up!
