Buying an Enfield and riding it back to London
Hi all,
I'm planning to go to New Delhi, buy an enfeild and ride it back to London.
But having read this website I seem to have hit a few technical snags.
1) Is it no longer possible to buy a motorbike in India and ride it across the border? (I have visas to Pakistan and Iran) Is the policy of not allowing bikes bought in India to be register in your own name still in place? Is there no way of getting around it?
2) Does this mean its near impossible to buy a bike in India and ride it back?
3) I don't have a Carnet. Is this a major problem?
4) I have a bigger problem - that I only have a provisional UK license and a CBT license, but not a full bike license. I can ride more powerful bikes but left it too late to get the full license. 
Highly irresponsible of me, I know. But does that mean my trip is definitely a no-go?
5) Has anyone done this trip lately? Any tips?
thanks!
S.
