    Psychopath drivers and open drains. By that stage you are knackered.

    They impounded the bike until all of the documents had been verified by the Portuguese Police. This was pre email attachments and neither force were in a rush so it took months.

    He also got charged with every minor offence they could dream up.(a traffic officer once bragged to me he could find a fault on any vehicle even a brand new one, I pointed out to him his own number plate didn’t have the manufacturer’s postcode on it)

    This loophole would work if you're questioned at Dover

    This isn’t guaranteed you are expected to take it to the nearest Center that can do an IVA as a friend of mine found out with an imported motorbike.

    I worked with a Portuguese motorbike courier in about 1999 who rode a black BMW on Portuguese plates so ignored parking tickets etc.
    he got pulled over by the police who noticed the mph speedo so looked a bit deeper, it was an ex/Northumbria Police bike he had bought here and re registered.
    He ended up in loads of trouble

    Could you really rebuild a wheel with a new hub in 30 mins? Tyre off to tyre back on?
