It's only for temporarily taking your vehicle into the EU and then returning to the UK. Bailing out of the UK still requires paying import duty on the vehicle and getting it registered in the destination country within their time-limit.

Brilliant. 1000 miles on that sort of terrain! Fair play to them.

Looks like the same top box I've got. Saving it for when I get a second bike for a bit more mileage.

Well, that one came out of the left field, given your previous comments about weight, but it's how it carries that weight that makes a big difference! Anyway, enjoy it Pete and hopefully your missus can get out on pillion from time-to-time.

Speaking of Anne Wilson.....

Yes, they were an often overlooked band, which is a shame. Robin Trower recently released a new album, so I think I'll have to check it out. Anne Wilson from heart has done a cover of this song on her new record and that's a pretty fair version too.

Exactly. Retire and still send the missus out to work! That's how it's done!

When we were in the UK at Easter we stayed a night in a nephew's house in Dartford. It's a nice terraced cottage, 2 bedroom near the middle of the town, but it doesn't have any parking, except on the road, and there's regular arguments with neighbours about the parking. Anyway, he bought the place a few months back and we discovered that he paid the same for it as our place here cost! So, we're not posh, you just get more bang for your buck here!

I don't think I would have lasted that long, Pete! I know that it's for your grandkids, but there's a limit, mate!

Thanks @Pedro. It's a lot of work, but hopefully it'll be worth it!
