Road Legal, MOT, Insurance etc

Anybody got any recommendations for trials bike insurance? MSM have quoted me

Hi does anyone know what the age is before the SACU allow young riders to start riding four strokes, or do you have to have a bike license first, which is another point. How do you get a bike license? thanks

Hi all. Any suggestions of who to go to for insurance using the VIN number as bike is not yet registered?

Just bought a new 250 gas gas. Contacted Bennett's who insured my 300 and renewed it 3 days ago. They won't insure the new bike even though I've a spotless record and the bike less powerful. They say that their underwriters just won't cover it. Go Aviva to accept it no problem, go figure. Just thought I'd warn everyone with Bennett's that they appear to be changing their thinking on trials bikes.

Hi from a new member I'm going to buy a bike shortly and I've got my eye on a couple at a localish shop but they're both road registered. As I'm not going to ride on the road at all I want to avoid any unnecessary hassle, so what is involved in buying a bike with a V5? Do I just fill out the V5 as a SORN and nothing else? Cheers

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?

Got my MOT booked for saturday on my 2007 sherco 290. Been sorting things out, got a horn (looks like something off my baby's walker), paperwork ready and done bearings as they had a little play in them, spoke to the bloke in garage and he said he'll cut me some slack with the number plate as he knows its near impossible to hang a full size one off the mudguard. But im a bit worried about tyres. Which tyres are road legal. I got dunlops that say competition use on them, so obvious these are not. anyone got info on some road legal tyres???????

Does anyone know of an insurer who will insure a bike on the frame number for a short period to register the bike. When it is registered I will be able to put on a classic policy with other bikes but they will not insure on the frame number only. I know C Nash will do it on the frame number but I don't want a 12 month policy with them. Thanks...

I have a slightly technical question regarding the rules for MOTs. My bike was first registered as new in May'07, and is currently taxed I think until June'10, after which I will have to go through the hassle of getting it MOT'd in order to tax it. Does anyone know if I SORN it now, and then re-tax it before it comes up to it's 3rd birthday, then the tax disc will run for another year before I have to get it MOT'd? (e.g if I re-tax in April'10, will run to April'11 when it will be nearly 4 years old?) Reason is I only plan to keep it about a year and I'm looking for the least hassle way to extend the taxed status a bit longer. Or. legally should a vehicle over 3 years old…

who will insure a 2010 300 gasser on a frame number so i can get bike road reg ????? CHEERS

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?

Does anyone have any advice on insuring a Beta 50? Obviously it

Can any one help to where i can get insurance for fire and theft? have asked carole nash and they quoted me

Hi all I am new to trials riding and i am probably asking a silly question what has been answered hundreds of time before but, i have just bought a 2007 beta 250 road registered so i can drive from my home 2 miles up the road to some local trials area's. I thought if my bike was insured,taxed,and a daytime mot this would be fine. I also have been told that trials tyres are not road legal and i could be issued with 6 points and a further 3 for the wrong sized number plate. I am slightly confused to how you can be issued a mot with none legal road tyres or a correct size number plate, and also dont fancy getting points. Hope someone can shed some light on the topic and sor…

Browsing this weeks MCN, mainly because somebody told me there was an article on the new Greeves and I came across THIS. Not good news at all if you ride a bike on the road (road legal trials as well). I lived in Germany for a couple of years and know only too well the grief the Germans have with TUV testing and type approval etc. We really don't want this coming to the UK............do we? GJ

Hi, I know the topic has been covered many times but I have road registered a used Gasser before with no problems but this is different and the DVLA are gettings on my t*%s! The bike is less than three years old and has not been road registered before. The story so far!! Certificate of newness and proof of import tax (VAT 414) obtained from importer John Lampkin's V55/5 completed (stating bike is non homologation) and all necessary paperwork above along with insurance certificate, driving license, proof of address were submitted to the Chester DVLA office. DVLA Chester contact me by phone and advise me they require the bike to be inspected but I advise them that the…

Has anyone had trouble getting insurance for an 2010 Evo. Ebike my normal insurer will not quote and Carole Nash only have a 250 Rev 3 on the pull down menu. I have tried the bikeinsurer but all still refer to a rev 3? Any guidance would be appreciated as I need to get a cover note to register and tax the new beaut before pickup on Saturday.

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 !

I beleive I read somewhere recently that, if you passed your driving test in the days where you were then given a complementary full moped licence, then there is norequirement to do a cbt test. Although this is not a widely known fact. can anyone confirm this is the case?
