Purchasing a bike in Ireland (or other EU country), then registering in USA (/other)
Hi all!
I recently purchased a lovely bike in Ireland to tour the country for a month, then over to Europe for a few months as well. Unfortunately, I've found it is impossible to purchase insurance for my time in Ireland- they require an Irish/EU drivers license in order to give out insurance (I am US).
I've began thinking, wouldn't it work fairly well to register the bike in the US, then have a friend mail me the new US plates and paperwork? Then, I could simply buy green card insurance and be set, 100%, all of Europe.
Seems too easy to be correct. Am I forgetting something, or do you have any better ideas? Thanks!
PS- yes, I have spoken with the fine folks at "Motofeirme", who have helped me out tremendously with advice/info, unfortunately procuring the actual insurance is still an issue.
