I know....but they will know what the score is regarding when it can be registered back to DD or Kit Kat. They will also be able to give info on what else may need to be done.

charge him £10 per day charges in Garage and storage fees...

:0) just an option I would consider....

and after reading all of this thread...
email him every day for 14 day telling him he has 14 days to collect or it will be left on the street...

tell coppers you found a bike in your garage and after 90 day you can keep it... or something like that :0)

And the last scenario, he comes in the middle of the night, 'steals' the bike and then contacts you a few days later stating he is coming to pick up the bike at the weekend. You then have to tell him that his motorcycle was stolen last week. Where would you go from there?

You'd tell him it was stolen, you'd tell him to report it to the police, and you'd tell him to claim off his insurance. It's his bike, he's paid for it in full. If my bike got stolen whilst in your garage, it wouldn't be you I had to claim off would it.

I had no idea this thread was about a Benelli! If you get tired of storing it I will happily look after it for you for free

Well tonight I've actually had a reply to my emails! He'll be here either next weekend or the weekend after to collect the RS.

Maybe he reads the forum.

"Duty of care" is another one of those PC phrases dreamed up by the lefty tree-hugging liberals to pass the buck for their own short-comings and in order to allow them to get away with stuff that would normally see them getting a stern talking to at the very least.

Your 'duty of care' ends when someone starts taking the p1ss. That's when they stop being someone you 'care' about and they start becoming a bloody liability. You give them fair warning to get their own house in order and when they fail to respond you leave them to their own devices... simple really.

they are coming to collect , brilliant
now inform them of the decency fee's
id say a pint a day should cover it
