Road Legal, MOT, Insurance etc

Hi does anyone know where you can get the small number plate stickers that go on the end of the rear mudguard ? Cheers.

I am well aware this has been done to death and I have scoured the postings to date. situation is this: I purchased a Bultaco 198A about 9 years ago, it was purchased secondhand from a private individual, can't remember exactly but about £300 I think. to the best of my knowledge it has never been registered. I want to register it, so the MoT is booked, should pass, (it had a pre-mot check last week), I have been asked to put a reflector on it. I have ordered the V55/5 form from the DVLA Dating cert from in-motion has been recieved. insurance quotes saved awaiting use! my first question, do I need a NOVA1? I started to complete this but once i got to the section a…

Having just received back my V5 for road registering my TXT 280 (thanks to all those who gave advice) I am now wondering what is an appropriate size of registration plate to get. The same size as my road bike would look daft, and yet some of the ones I saw at a trial today are no bigger than the width of the mud guard. I understand there is a legal requirement but wondered if there was an 'accepted' size for a trials bike?

My transport manager informs me a "vertical" rear plate is now requied for this weekends East Yorks Two Day. Here's the legal version:

hi ,i am looking for a road registered 50cc trials bike,eg beta rev/medium wheel or equivilent,has anyone ever road registered a 50cc trials bike,thanks

Hi all,new to trials,should have looked on here before i bought a trials bike,but ive just bought one and there is a reg plate with it but the lad i bought it from didnt have a V5,so i wondered what the best/easiest way to obtain one would be. Ive dealt with the DVLA before so i know nothings easy for them,but heres hoping,thanks for your time. Regards Andy.

Does anyone know which insurance companies will insure a trials bike for road use that is on a type approved daytime MOT. Any leads appretiated. Note I've already tried Bennets and Carole Nash Regards John

Does anyone know the procedure for registering a never-registered bike? I've got a Bultaco Sherpa T M92 I want to get a V5C for. The DVLA website tells me to " get form V765 endorsed by a vehicle owners club" - can't find a Bultaco owners club! Apparently getting a V5C was easy til recently...

After reading about another spate of Trials bike thefts, how many people actually insure their bikes? Not talking about roadgoing insurance, but insurance against theft from home/van/trial I forgot to re-insure my 4RT for a week, earlier in April this year (Carole Nash forgot to send the reminder) and in hindsight I could have kicked myself I use Carole Nash for a specific offroad bike policy to cover against theft/fire from home, which includes theft cover whilst travelling to and from a Trial or practise ground whilst in the Van or on a trailer Costs me £128 per year for £3k's worth of cover - cheap 'piece of mind' in my book, less than a pair of Raptor footpegs S…

Just phoned Carol nash to get quote for Beta Evo and they declined saying insurers dont like field/monkey bikes because they get stolen a lot. I thought thats why we insured them!; however has any body got best deal recently on TpF&theft insurance for EVo?

Can anyone confirm that this item... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M-Part-CP2200-Megahorn-Super-loud-and-effective-electronic-horn-/162121169277?hash=item25bf2cb97d:g:J0EAAOSwOVpXdEK8 emits a constant tone (or tones) that do not change in pitch and are not modulated in anyway? Thanks

part way through road registering my gas gas 280 txt progress: MOT Dating letter Insured on VIN number V55/5 filled in and sent off Came back saying i needed to apply for a NOVA to sort VAT out. did this online ands its telling me i now owe £130 import tax on it. The dating letter tells me it was imported by the offical gas gas importer, surely this would have been done legit and all import duties would be payed at the time???? Have rang VTU (vehicle transportation unit) today but just says lines busy. Bit annoyed that i have forked out all this money to get it road legal including having insurance running to be told that my applications ben declined because of …

Hi, my Montesa 123 is somewhere around 1972 in age... does anyone know where I can get a certificate of age so that I can get an age related plate. I don't think there is an owners club.

So ok, i understand what and why i need one but what is the actual document? Is it a receipt from when it was bought or what?

Hello All - New to the forum. Getting back into trials after a long break. Just about to start a full rebuild of a 1976 Montesa Cota 246 with my 11 year daughter in the hope of dragging her off social media for at least an hour a night! Ideally I would like to road register the bike in the UK. The frame and engine numbers match. I am familiar with how to obtain a v5. Its the Montesa bit that concerns me. I am guessing obtaining paperwork for a 1970s bike will be a challenge. Any guidance would be appreciated. Best wishes Moray

As the title says who do you insure your evo with? My current broker does not recognise it and said to go to Norwich Union direct. Which I have done but I need a couple of quotes before I commit. Wasn't there an ACU linked scheme or am I imagining that? Thanks Dave

Want to do the 2 day this year, but does my bike need to be on the road? Thanks

Can anyone tell me how I get a certificate of newness for an 03 scorpa. I believe I have to ask the importer, but it seems they're not around these days, Crosswaites ....... Now what...... I posted this the other day and it dissappeared !

Anyone know of any good off road bike insurance companies ?! Cheers

Anyone having much joy with insuring a 300RR? Seem almost impossible to find a company that lists the bigger 288cc motor, the 250 and 260 can be insured no problem. Unfortunately Msm insurance don’t cover my area.
