Took POP for it's test this afternoon.
As is the custom here there was a lot of looking at it, shining a torch in dark corners (for what reason I know not) and generally faffing to pretend he knew what he was doing. Anyway this went on for around half an hour and then I waited around another half an hour while the clerk fannied about on the PC and photocopier.
And then all of a sudden I was given a sheaf of papers and that was it!
Next step is for me to run around in 3 different towns paying 3 different ransoms (for the Corsa it came to around 450 euros) and then I have to go to Trafico in the middle of Madrid armed with all the receipts, photocopies, ID papers and so on. Then another 98 euros for Trafico fees and I should get the papers and only then can I go buy a number plate.

Grant, you seem to have the patience of Job! I'm not sure I could handle the frustration you are suffering. Perhaps I'd go Postal....

Henry,
100/90 and 120/90 tyres.
Twin shocks.
Just as it says in the technical specification for this model year Laverda in Spain...
Started the paper trail today. Got new empadronamiento paper (that says I live where I do) from the town hall, some 6 miles away. Need it to show Trafico, only valid for 1 month.
Also got the road tax declaration from the town hall. This basically shows that the bike (being on a historical plate) has zero tax rating but I still need to show Trafico that I have registered it with the local town hall, and paid zero.
Tomorrow morning I will tackle the oficina liquidadora which is in another town, some 5 or 6 miles away. This is for change of ownership.
Then, hopefully, in the afternoon I will go to another town, some 12 miles away in the other direction, to pay taxes for importing a vehicle to Spain.
Then, once I have all the papers in hand, along with photocopies (they will not photocopy anything for you) I will get an appointment with Trafico in Madrid, some 45 minutes away. If all goes to plan I will present all the papers, pay the required 98 euros there and be given my ficha tecnica and permiso de circulaci?n, with which I can buy a number plate. Then I can get it insured. Then I can use it.
It will need a fair bit of fettling once I get it out on the road and used properly.
Might need to 'improve' the rear suspension and maybe upgrade the tyres first though...

Been riding to work daily on the SF2.
Weather has been fine. Bike doing OK though I've opted to overhaul the front hydraulics this winter: dismantle, clean, new seals.
Will be marshalling at the Croix en Ternois track this weekend since it just wasn't worth taking the race bike only to continue with unresolved electrical problems. So camping gear on the back of the SF2 and off tomorrow afternoon so as to get there early to pitch the tent in a good spot.
If the weather holds out, it'll be a good weekend. It's usually cold and wet!

got another improved support arm made for Clyde's tail-pipe.
was swapping the 41T sprocket with a 40T and replacing the chain for Uncle Venn for Bello, when i discovered the original light stainless lug arm had cracked off. bugga! must 'av been the last run to Goomeri pub, to drink piss with me CLQ mates.
so what to do?? Redax will know, so i better head over to daShed.
& before i know it, i'm bead blasting and painting a freshly manufactured support arm, that's stronger, more durable and actually locates the tail-pipe a lot better!!
now,, 'av i told ya just how farken lucky a bloke is to reside within 15 minutes of da Redax shed ??
i 'av? ok, back to me rumbo.
& no. i ain't farken moving any further from daShed.

It's a brand new test centre.
Today I ran around like a blue arsed fly in different offices in different towns, and paying taxes in 2 different banks.
All the paper chase is done, just need to go to Trafico in Madrid to present all the papers as a fait accompli.
Hopefully do that next week before my next trip around Europe.
That means by the middle of next week it will finally be legit.
I'll sort out insurance and 'fettle' the bike on my return and then the fun begins.

Bought a neutral switch for the triple Looking forward to fitting it and finding out that it's not what's causing the problem..............
