It's basically a case of toe-the-line now Bryan, as I have sold the bike on the proviso that I set the wheels in motion to obtain a V5C but luckily the guy seems a decent chap and is going to totally restore it anyway, & in a month or so it should be sorted it out ...plus I will then be a member of VJMC. Yes, I could have MOT'd it but that's more hassle and expense (changing tyres, etc.) .. Point taken for the other bikes that I am keeping though ..... If they have an old V5 I will just try and MOT them and take it from there. My CX500B has the old V5 and is on the DVLA register, so fingers crossed on that one being pretty straightforward. BTW ..I stripped and fixed the non-working horn on the G5 (same as 400/4) so it can be done and I will fully write the procedure up sometime soon, as they are getting rare. Already started the bones of it on here.

I wanted to clarify EXACTLY what I needed to send and the list has increased dramatically since the last time I checked. I now need a V55/5, a V765, a photo, my old V5, dating certificate and it needs inspecting. However the real fly in the ointment is that the bike needs to be complete, it's not and I don't really have any intentions of completing it any time soon. I got into a discussion about the HOC looking at it as well, who gave them powers to decide if I can still use my registration number? the old V5 is DVLA issued and yet they won't seem to accept the information on there, they claim to have a partial record of my bike but said that at the time the records were computerised there wasn't enough information to record my bike so they didn't bother, what other information did they need? it had the correct name and address, the correct reg No and the correct engine/frame number, what else did they need? insurance and MOT details weren't computerised the time they did this so can't be those. Seems because it wasn't taxed the presumed it was scrapped but who's fault is that presumption? and who's paying the price for that now?

That's more or less exactly what they told me Ken You have to send the V765 off to an approved validation organisation (e.s VJMC or HOC for our bikes) Bike must be complete and original and you need a minimum of two full-on, with bike fully vertical, pictures, both sides of the bike plus clear photos of the engine number and frame stampings plus a clear photo alloy plate, if fitted. The only thing for me is that the buyer picked up the bike last night and told me he is totally stripping it to restore but not for at least a year, so I have a bit of grace time to sort out his V5C plus it's set me on the 'learning curve' for registering classics. Got to agree that their watermarked old V5 isn't worth the paper it's printed on it would seem, which I find incredible. I think HOC would accept a printed proper scan (not photo) of the old V5 but VJMC seemed to request the original document. Seems pretty likely an inspection will be made as well but, at the present time at least, I don't think you are charged extra for that.
This is what I got back from VJMC:
Ashley,
How come the DVLA have no record of your V5 have they explained?
If you go to our website www.vjmc.com then click dating then V765, all the information is there what you need to do. The simplest method would be for you to send me your v765 and application and I will return to you with dating letter for you to send of the lot to DVLA. You should also fill in the V55/5, and meet their requirments.
Regards
Ray Davis - Dating Officer VJMC

You are not hijacking Phil .. There must be loads of people doing the same as you with specials .. worth dropping an email to VJMC .. initial advice is free ... got be a common sense way forward .. might have been scaremongering from the guy who told me that they insisted on standard trim on a GS750 of his that they sent an inspector to examine.

Cheers Ash - I'll make some enquiries
