how many on the R1 then?
:lol :rollin :lol
Err, in total it has a mere 13,100 miles since it was first registered in Jan 1999. About 1,300 of those have been since I got it in June 2009. In my defence, feeble though it is, I had two R1s to ride in 2009/2010 and this one was the designated 'keeper', so I put more mileage on the other knowing it would be sold eventually.
Transferring UK-registered bikes onto Spanish plates is a bureaucratic chore and expensive so I put off doing it for a year once the UK tax and MOT had expired. I finally got around to re-registering the keeper last November. Cost nearly 600 euros and took 3 weeks of visits to the MOT centre, the tax offices and the Policia Trafico department in Alicante. It all has to be done in person and the sheaf of paperwork required has to be seen to be believed.
Worth it, though.
