<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
 It used to be if the dating latter was from the manufacturer no inspection if a dating service possible  inspection, and when I did this years ago i phoned the insurance company and eplained that dvla were pissing about and they extended the time for me, try it it cant make it any worse

royhall:
A mate of mine who builds bikes has the inspector round on a regular basis if the bikes have no original title. So it's not unusual. If you have the USA title docs it just sails through. Insurance will extend you 1 extra month foc if you ring them.

Called DVLA and got the line that they need to inspect because it's never been on the UK system dah dah dah. Tried to negotiate nicely but no movement. Have to contact an outfit called SGS who will give me an inspection date in up to 5 days.

I am thinking now I wasted £35 getting the VJMC letter and should just have gone for an inspection in the first place.

I cant get a Honda letter either and didn't have original USA title doument.

However DVLA guy said they get SGS report back within 72 hours and once they have it he can advice me the reg number over the phone so that may help

One option to speed up process is to take it to a garage. Anyone know if it is legal to ride it to this inspection  garage with no Reg plate given that it has insurance and valid MOT?

MrDavo:
I had nothing but a receipt with a NOVA number on it, a VJMC letter was fine, after Honda had messed me about for a while, so maybe you are just unlucky. I did wonder how if at all they could check if a bike had been reported stolen in another country.

Probably not, or everyone would be doing it as they shot past speed cameras. At the very least it's asking for a pull, probably best to borrow a van or trailer. My friend may have used a plate off another bike he owned, but that's definitely illegal.

royhall:
Argh the old plate off another bike ploy. No officer I haven't done that the last 3 times I did the registration thing.
