Hi I have a tiger cub 1959 trials its registered in my name v5 ,I've been told I don't need a mot and its tax exempt its fully working and in good condition ,no lights, reflectors etc but I have fitted a horn how do I go about using it on a daytime licence I have also put a number plate on the rear mudguard

well all you do is insure and ride...

Is it really that straight forward

Taking bike test in a few weeks providing I pass what's next , is it insurance then tax disc and as long as I keep the bike well maintained I'm legally ok to ride ?

you need to insure then apply online for a tax disc and your off

I've also got a 1959 trials Cub and when the "no MOT for pre 1960's" rule came in on Nov 19th last year I was straight up to the local DVLA office on Nov 20th with my insurance etc in my hot little hand. she asked for my MOT and didn't know about the rule change until she checked it out, she came back with "you are correct sir".

She asked why I hadn't got an age related rego number and I told her it was too much trouble, she said, "I can do it for you now" which I gratefully accepted.

I was in the DVLA office for 10 minutes and came out with a 12 months tax disc, an age related number and it hadn't cost me a penny, I also had a big smile on my face.

Manx 2 day here I come.
