Cheers mate, they arrived his morning. Awesome.

msg'd you

Hope it gets sorted. I went to Phillip Island with NL and know how strict the Aussies are, so if anyone can sort it NL can.

Hey Jon, looking forward to stuffing the Vangina with full fat Beemer S1000RRs. Roll on SS and Donni. Wellcum to the forum :) You already beaten me on posts and you?ve only just joined. Doler.

Got SS booked on two days and Donni so far. As soon as the next dates are announced will book Cadwell and Brands GP plus some other. Haven?t booked a Euro yet, what with travel uncertainty and stuff like this...

Currently that's correct for transferring your vehicles between EU countries. Post BREXIT without a deal it could be VAT (~20%) + Duty (~4%) to move a vehicle to/from the EU, personal or for business despite length of ownership. I'm tracking this as I have houses in the UK, Italy and Australia...

True, you could take the bike in van. The EU customs may see the van as a commercial vehicle and apply the same temporary import declaration requirements to the load and require an indemnity fee to prevent import duty fraud. Whereas riding a bike would be considered a personal vehicle.

Just a suggestion if storing your bike abroad is a requirement. Take your bike to Dover/Folkstone etc, load it on to the chunnel/ferry under it's own power. Get off the ferry at Calais/Santander, load it on to a van, store it over there, get a flight back.

Got the same email from Tracksense - thought it a bit melodramatic. It'll be no different than currently shipping your bike to non EU countries, which I have. When you've done it once it's a minor bit of paperwork. - Vehicle frame and engine numbers, with photographs laminated on seperate A4...

Bemoto couldn?t provide a quote for my bikes however they gave a good quote for my race van. I was with A-Plan who wanted to increase it from ?465 to ?707, Bemoto quoted just over ?400.

how wide are the standard discs, what?s the best way of identifying? I?m purchasing a set for spare wheels.

I?ve a Pani R which has lightweight forged wheels and I could believe how much quicker the BMW steers with carbon wheels, so much so I was significantly oversteering to begin with on track.

Do the M Sport carbon wheels have a reduced choice of tyre figments, or is it the same as forged and standard wheels? I remember seeing somewhere a suggestion of just two tyres being approved for use with the carbon wheels (could just be forum folk law).

Any guesses/spoilers on which one of the bikes comes a cropper on the track section of their test?

Interested to hear what modes are you using on track; dynamic, race, race pro ?
