Buying a motorcycle in Greece and riding it to Denmark on transit plate(s)
 

Hello fellow bikers.

After a wonderful trip from Copenhagen/Denmark to England on my 1955 DKW RT 250/2 in September, I came back home and was promptly fired from the job I've had for 11 years 30 seconds after coming back to work :clap:

It's not all bad, since I have 6 months with pay and will be free from any work obligations the 30/11. So I'll have plenty of time to do silly things, before I have to panic and go find a job.

I've gotten this crazy idea that I'll fly to Athens, buy a Honda C90 and ride it home to Denmark in December.

Anyone done something like this in Greece?

For now I've figured that I'll need to;
1) Find a bike thats in good working order.
2) I'll need to go to the customs office to get transit plate(s), I suppose I'll need to buy the bike first and bring the papers.
3) Get some really warm gear so I'll not end up a crazy biker popsicle.

But, I'm unsure if the bike will need to have some kind of inspection/MOT before I can get the transfer plate in Greece.
And I'm unsure how to get insurance on the bike, which I think is required for the transfer plates.

Just tried calling the Greek embassy and they didn't know anything :) He suggested that I should just put the bike in a van and bring it home.

Oh, If anyone actually lives in Athens and would like to help me on my silly quest do get in touch :)
