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?

Hi I'd like to get my enfield crusader road legal , but ive only got the old log book style reg document and ive never changed to the modern doc as i believe the log book would have to be sent in and would be lost is this correct ? could anyone here clarify the procedure ? thanks greg

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

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

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...

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

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

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?

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…

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?

Hi. My bike is coming up to 3 years old and will shortly need its first MOT. Can someone please advise what I need to pass the MOT?? Do I need working lights, brake light? (god I hope not as all wiring stripped when bike was new) If so, is there a simple and quick fix to pressing the pedal and making the brake light work?? Obviously need a horn but can strap one on no problems Ta muchly

I have a bike that in 99.9% sure i registered, the chap i got the bike from told me that he never recived the V5 and never chased it as he only used the bike off road, the bike has also done the scottish so there is a good chance a V5 for the bike is floating round in someones draw. As i dont know the reg number can i still apply with a V62? or is there another way to find out, i cant get dvla on the phone the are ALWAYS too busy

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.

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???????

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.
