You don't.

You leave the foreign plates on it, park where you like, go as fast as you like and, should you ever be stopped by plod, have no grasp of English at all.

Insurance and road tax also optional...

Yup, pretty much.

I still find it hilarious that the woman who started the "close the borders" petition lives in Spain for half the year.

Pretty much none of the BMW dealers around Stuttgart would sell me a bike...even though I have a German address to register it too...
Why not?

Saw the ABS model on the Hernda stand today way over £11k.

Wasn't too impressed with the detailing & the back of the headlights clocks is plain messy IMHO. Exhaust looks pretty gash too. HRC colours & gold rims looked nice IMHO.

I thought all new 2016 bikes in the EU over a certain size (125?) had to have ABS. What's with the German market having it as an option? confused

I understand there will be some allowance in getting rid of old stock but Africa Twin is like new, new.

I'm also surprised the fork tops look like they are from 2005. But a nut is a nut I suppose.
