Ciao e tutti,
I ask here as I know I get a sensible literate reply..........
I am thinking of buying a used motorcycle in Rome and riding it back to 
England. Does the registration (number plate) stay with the vehicle or 
does the owner remove it when they sell the vehicle.
All the number plates I see in Italy seem to be region specific.
I will need a number plate on the vehicle to ride it through Italy & 
France y'see.
Grazie mille

Italian burocracy is terrible!!the best thing you can do, to my mind, is 
buying the motoircycle and putting it inside a truck to take it to England.
In this way you don't need insurance, plate and so on.
It will be more expensive, of course,but trust me, dealing with 
burocracy will drive you nut.

In order to do so, you need only fill in a form.

Mrs. Palmer, in her way, was equally angry. 'She was determined to drop his
acquaintance immediately, and she was very thankful that she had never been
acquainted with him at all'. (Jane Austen)

"you need only fill in a form"? Is something missing? Something like "you
only need *to* fill out (in, for ya) a form?. Waitaminute. That's something
you have already discussed here with someone. IIRC what you wrote is
correct, but I don't remember if it's old-fashioned (I wouldn't be
surprised ^_^), British or if it's common everywhere. 
Ok, don't ask me why, but I'd say "you only need" instead of "you need
only". :)

Ah ha!
So as long as I arrange insurance I will be able to ride the bike on it's 
existing plates. Good!
What is "Expell" bike?
Thank you


What is "Expell" bike?
sorry, I meant "expelled". "Casted off" (the list of all registred
vehicles in Italy).


 
Hmmmm......So if I ever want to live in Italy & use the vehicle there I 
should just not tell the authorities it is leaving the country. I should 
just register the vehicle in both countries (if possible).
I have an Italian address (friend) I can use for receiving mail. I could 
use that for my licence address I suppose
I'll try that then.
Thanks for the advice guys!


use that for my licence address I suppose
all that's needed is an ID with name and surname on it.
but I think that you anticipating things. first you have to well
understand far many other things.


 I'll try that then.
You try that and let us know.
You may want to know that I am an Italian permanently resident in the UK and
I have been told that I cannot have a vehicle registered in my name with an
Italian plate.
Being resident in Italy does not mean having an address (of a friend) where
you can receive your mail. It means being able to produce a certificate of
residency issued by the town council where you are resident.

 proprietor-name on the list I was telling you about before.
Non hai dimenticato il certificato di residenza?

Non hai dimenticato il certificato di residenza?
ah, serve?
forse a me non è mai servito (la mia ultima moto era usata) in quanto
sono di nazionalità italiana?
ma stiamo in Europa, secondo me non serve.

 only". :)
It sounds better as I wrote it to me, but I don't guarantee.

 sono di nazionalità italiana?
Puo' benissimo essere che adesso la residenza la vedano dal documento di
identita' e il certificato di residenza non serva, pero' sono certo che
rimane il concetto che devi essere residente in Italia per essere titolare
di un mezzo con targa italiana.
Questo concetto non e' solo italiano ma anche inglese e forse mondiale. Solo
che in Inghilterra si accontentano di considerarti residente in un posto se
rispondi alle lettere che ricevi a quell'indirizzo (come pensava l'amico),
in Italia la residenza e' qualcosa che devi comunicare prima al nostro
regime.
Se in Italia la polizia ti becca con il tuo indirizzo di residenza sulla
patente diverso da quello della carta di circolazione ti sequestra il mezzo
immediatamente.

Both should do fine, I use them interchangeably.
But I have never found the verb "to need" used like that, except for
"needn't" of course.
