Want to buy in India and ride back to UK
Hi all,
Newbie here. I was born and brought up in India just down the road from where they used to manufacture Jawa motorbikes. Always wanted one as a kid but then moved to UK. I'm going to India at the end of May and want to bring a 250 RoadKing (not the Harley) back to the UK.
Was initially considering just shipping the bike back but then started thinking about actually riding it back and the more I think about it the more I want to do it. I have several questions however which I am hoping you guys could help me with.
1. I am a British citizen can I buy in India? I read conflicting reports
2. Do I need to get a carnet? If so how do I go about it? Am I wrong in thinking I need to have bought the vehicle first?
3. I don't have an awful lot of time to do the journey in. Would 3 weeks be enough do you think? (That is for the actual journey not for purchasing the bike etc.)
There will be lots more questions but if I cannot get past these then the other questions are academic.
Thanks for all your help in advance...
