Thanks, if it doesn't then it'll likely be my fault and there's no rush, this is France after all!
Basically yes, just a receipt and a CoC for both, but I can't stress enough, make sure that every bit of paperwork, receipts, V5, Coc, etc., has the same name and address on. I had Jon instead of Jonathan on one bit of paper and it was only after some heavy complimenting on her detective work and a lot of brown nosing, that I got the lady to issue the paperwork I needed to register the ADV. That won't work with the online system. I read this morning they now want a scan of your driving licence and insurance when applying. It's not known if this can be UK licence and insurance yet! You will not believe how bad the French admin system is. £100 seems about the norm for a CoC, some companies do them for free, but not many.
It will save you some hassle, but not as much as you researching that what I've said is the most up to date info! I can't find anything more up to date than the FB group but be careful, don't take what others say as gospel. Mark Rimmer on that site is 99% accurate with his advice and knowledge, he's written the guide on there too.
Good luck with the move, we've been here for just over 2 years now and love it. If there's anything I can help with, give me a shout.
Great stuff, thats my task now!
Thanks again for the info, much appreciated. Myself and the missus are living for this move! Hoping to be down in Lyon next Spring!
Did you buy the bikes new? EU law states that all EU vehicles should have a CoC as part of the vehicle documentation.
Take your dealer to task on it. Did they send it to DVLA? You want it back.
Even my old shitter SLK of 2003 (from Germany) came with the CoC in the vehicle docs.
Since the new regs on car CT's this year, masking the light IS acceptable to flatten off the L/H flare of RHD motors.
As there is no CT for bikes, the same should apply.
No, I bought my 2012 Speed Triple privately, earlier this year. And my '16 GS I bought used from a dealer last year. I've emailed the dealer to see if I can get them to dig it up for me! Cheers
