I would imagine they'd volunteer to help a fellow traveler and motorcycle enthusiast make a dream trip come true.

Afterall, I am not asking anyone to be responsible for an abandoned bike. I have friends stationed in Germany for work that are more than happy to help me sell the bike after my trip is over, even if I am unable to sell it before I leave Europe. The "slim possibility" was in reference to unforseen extenuating circumstances.

As to volunteering to be a party to fraud, I don't believe I am asking anyone to volunteer for that either. If it was out right fraudulent to use an Ireland address to title and register a vehicle under a U.S. citizen's name, I don't believe Martin and the Motofeirme would still be doing that very same thing to help others with broader budgets obtain motorcycles for their trips.

From the research I've done on the DVLA's website here
https://www.gov.uk/government/organi...censing-agency
and here
https://www.gov.uk/driving-abroad
and here

and multiple other sources.

I haven't found anything explicitly saying that it is fraudulent. If you're aware of that being the case, please do point me in the right direction to find that information.

I have thought the details of this through would be more than happy to discuss them in depth with anyone who is interested in offering help. Even if they choose not to lend me their address after learning all the details.
