Title: Does your bike sport the old Tax disc?
Post by: Athame57 on July 23, 2020, 06:08:43 PM

I just fitted an obsolete tax disc to my bike, they have been out of use for six years now, but like the black metal registration plate she wears at the back, it contributes to the 'look and feel' of a historic vehicle. This one ran out twenty years ago, my CB400F2 was already 22 years old then. I hope it doesn't get pinched though, last thing I heard these discs are starting to sell well!

Luckily I've got every single tax disc issued to my Z900 from the first one in 1976. A rare thing as most of us binned them back then, I know I did! :(

I took a photo copy of the original to save it getting ruined through rain, lost or in the unlikely event of it even being nicked.

You can always get a replica tax disc for your bike if you need one from here:

Still have my 1989 tax disc, mot cert, and insurance cert. along with some other stuff inside a 1985 copy of "Performance Bikes" that has a print article of my bike on inside pages.

I have a copy of a 1974 tax disk with all the correct details on.
Bloke does them at the Kempton Park bike auto jumble, think it was £5 for 2.

He has all years and months and has the details of how much the tax was, even a Post Office stamp for them.

I've got one for it, but I haven't got it fitted.

Tax disks vanished on my vehicles almost as fast as the owners manuals and original tool kits.

I blagged one off the Internet and photoshopped out where it said sample

I've got one on mine for 1977, the year it was registered.

I’m tempted to find an old Guinness label, as many did back in the day.

A bonus is you can no longer get nicked if a copper / traffic warden notices it! :)
