It was a few years ago I was there so if I am out of date I hope someone will correct me but any temporarily imported vehicle into Western Australia has to go to the nearest Department of Transport office for inspection, a bit like a UK MOT test and then you pay a registration fee which is the same as the locals pay and this includes basic third party insurance which will make you legal on the road.
If you want a higher level of cover than that it has to be arranged with another insurance provider.

Swann told me today " Swann Insurance does not offer insurance coverage for imported motorcycles."

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.
