So, I have gotten a rental GS to take to Italy next week. I will be leaving a few days later and making more of a dash to Milan. Probably now not doing any of the mountain passes I wanted to do on the way there since I am not too keen on putting a rental bike offroad, doing that not on my own bike doesn’t have the same appeal.

Am very miffed with it, and am considering buying a second bike in the coming months or year. Would have gotten one now in a hurry, but there’s no way I would have the paperwork done in time for the trip.

Plus, since the gearbox is coming out, the bearings will be replaced and things will be inspected for wear and changed accordingly, and the timing chains will also be inspected and if over half of slack tolerance they’ll be changed too.

Bike should be good for a while after all that, at 122.000 now.

What paperwork do you need?

I need the title in my name, when you buy a vehicle here you change owner and it takes a week or two before the new title arrives. During that time you have a temporary document, but that is only valid inside Portugal.

I could go with someone else’s bike as long as I had the title in my hands, but when you buy it the previous owner wants the registration changed immediately, obviously.

I'm surprised you still need that within the EU.

You always need a vehicle’s current registration. While that is being changed the previous document isn’t valid.

I just assumed your EU overlords would have it all available electronically.

Just saying, I don't need to carry mine if I go to England, Wales or Northern Ireland, there would be no point if you go to Wales because they can't read there anyway

Heat blast is back this weekend....90+F for the next few days. The Misses & I are leaving by lunchtime on Monday for Jubilee lake....just as those temps start to back down.

Managed to get a kwik ride in this morning, before it got stoopid Hot again...

You go to a registry office, or a notary, deliver the old title and a change of property form, and are left with a disused title and a temporary paper. Eventually, within a week or so the new title arrives in the mail.

You physically have to take it somewhere? Where are you living? 1957?

Physically take the registration paper, not the bike. Anyway, that’s the price I pay to live in a place where people don’t fry candy bars.
