Need help registering a bike in UK
Can anyone register a bike for me? I bought a non-EU bike in England that needs to be registered. Paperwork is ready and MOT has been passed, but now it needs a licensed rider to get insurance and register. I'd do it myself but I'm in the USA and the bike is at a friend's house in England.
Or, if anyone's gone through this process before I have a few questions:
1) Is it possible for someone in the USA (me) to register in my name BEFORE going to the UK? My English friend has my paperwork and would act as my agent of sorts.
2) If not, how long does it take AFTER I arrive in the UK between going to the DVLA and being street-legal to ride through the EU? Do I need to wait for something in the mail, or do I get enough paperwork and plates to ride the same day? (Or both?)
