Re: taxes & Decals

[mfay@xxxxxxxxx (Martin Fay)]

     The Irish government got around this by renaming the import 
     duty as 'Vehicle Registration Tax'. Now, no matter where you 
     import your 1000cc bike from, you pay IR£1400+ to get a 
     registration number. Free trade? Humbug!
     
     BTW: The Union Jack decals are removed from Triumphs over here 
     before they leave the distributers, even the ones in their 
     showrooms.

However, as we're still part of the EC, you can find out which EC
country has the lowest price, buy your bike there and have a nice holidayr
 iding it back to the UK :-)
