Very well explained in detail by Pongo.
People just don't understand the stand Michael is usually pointing out that EU regulation and how it is dealt in countries inside the union is very different than the way the things are done in US or Canada.
One more issue can be had if the above situation Pongo mentioned (accident), and that is if the bike is found to be non insured vehicle because of the not being road worthy (playing stupid with MOT scheme, last rego papers etc), but having a third party liability policy, you can be jailed for possible dangerous actions towards people and their valuables (policy is not going to be valid).
Same thing applies when people are riding a bike they do not own like Michael have tried and he was burned (his friend was burned and paid a huge fine), with a notary paper that gives the rider ability to ride someone else bike.
