iamgigglz Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I moved to North Yorkshire from Johannesburg, South Africa a few months ago and brought my 990 Adventure with me (also brought a wife and some kids). One of my first questions on the forum will be how to get my pony on the road! I was a very active member of the Think Bike and Wild Dogs biking forums in South Africa and am looking forward to settling in with a new crowd here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately bought myself a Rev'it Afterburn H2O jacket and Rev'it Contrast Gore-Tex gloves (from SportsBikeShop of course) but they haven't seen a single mile of use yet 6 minutes ago, Fiddlesticks said: Welcome in https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk/registering-an-imported-vehicle The above might (or might not) be helpful on the bike front. Thanks very much. I've been sent to that page a few times but there are technicalities I'm struggling with. I'll start a thread for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
