I think the ninja is going to be put to bed.
I can no longer get insurance. (It's still on uk plates)
Darned brexit
Can't complain. I've been riding it long enough out there.
(Too expensive and too complicated to re register)
I always knew it would happen at some point.
Now need to find a new sunshine bike!
Then maybe ship the ninja back here. Have to give it all some thought.
Meanwhile, I'll just have to cuddle Ed when we go out

Can't you insure it in the UK with cover for Euroland . How will the insurance company know that it's permanently in Spain ?

A few years yet before it is old enough not to need them.
If anything happened, they would want evidence of crossing
If it ain't fun, don't do it

Made my mind up.
I'm going to sell some shares and buy a Spanish bike. There's loads out there for around €5k.
I'm not allowed to sell until mid March, so hope to have something in April.

New bike shopping!
And I'm betting that one day, sometime in the future, you will want to start the Ninja and as long as the battery is good it will burst into life again, ready to go.
Mine does, although I sometimes have to turn the tap to prime it. I shall sell mine. It's too good to sit under a cover all the time and though I hate to admit it, my new bike is so much more comfortable and I can do far more miles on it.
So hard to actually do though. It's saved me so many times over the last 6 years. I wish my pension ran to the expense of two lots of tax and insurance.
Enjoy the search

I'm always being watched. It's the Government, I reckon. I still have a communications ban. They seem to have a long memory
Maybe I spent too much time talking to Tom Piglet, in the old days. He was a bit paranoid about being watched. He's An adopted American though, so he's probably right
