OK so I have been gone for a while, but I will soon be back on the forum. The 5c summary is we moved back to the UK as planned, but I left both my bikes temporarily in the US, in a storage place, as I expected to be coming back and worth every few weeks. It was a good plan until Uncle Sam refused my application to give up residence status (return my Green Card), meaning I was classed as a US PAT and liable for US tax (as well as UK). Means I was effectively barred from the US until the immigration situation was resolved. That took 18months but finally happen a few weeks ago and I have popped back to find that my 2005 which was supposed to be sold in consignment (to pay for storage of my 2003) hasn't been sold, so I have a storage bill of approx the value of the 2005 just to get both bikes out. A friend is going to provide a new home for my 2005, and I can finally ship the 2003 to UK...or at least that is the current plan. Gotta love red tape!
