Hi,
Is it correct that as long as a bike has invoice papers and the 3% excise duty has been paid then the police can't confiscate the bike if it's not registered, they can only fine you?
A guy I know has just bought a drz400sm and said the worst that can happen IF he gets stopped by the police (which is quite rare up here in Chiang Rai anyway, they usually just ignore farang) is a fine! He said that even though the bike has no green book he is still able to get insurance for it?!
If this is correct then I'm tempted to do the same, an occasional small fine would be worth paying if that's the worst that can happen.
Thanks in advance
