Hi Jim82,
I know im tuning into this thread a little late but id love to hear what you ended up doing. Im currently trying to get around the same hurdle. I don't know anyone in the UK that i can ask to register and insure a bike under their name but let me ride it through europe (im aussie).
I have found a dealer that has offered to let me use the dealerships address but
as far as i can tell i still cant get UK third party insurance (to maintain the UK ergo) as im not a resident (will they check or should i just use his address and hope they don't?). also on the DVLA website it says that you must verify your address be means of utility/phone bills/bank statements/etc.
The dealer thinks he can somehow manage to pull it off but i don't know how. im happy taking out green card insurance for the rest of europe (i wont be riding the bike in the UK at all) but i do want to maintain UK registration so i don't have trouble with officials in any other countries (EU countries).
Thanks for any help you can offer.
