Any other ex dispatch riders among us?
Bryanj:
Yup, but do not take out the insurance till you are ready to go as frame number insurance is time limited.
It is my understanding that you need the mot for first registration but not afterwards
Nurse Julie:
I checked with James H on this recently and its all changed again quite recently. No MOT or insurance needed for the process of registering an imported bike with DVLA. (I'm assuming that if it's younger than 40 years, you will still need an MOT but not sure on this)

OK. I began in 1982 with an awful company called Olympic where I spent more time on the pavement than a pigeon, I moved over to 'Hotline' soon got the sack, then 'Ambassador' and then 'Delta' where I started to get good. I moved on to a roguish little firm called 'Falcon' great lads (& Lasses') ..oh, forgot my flirtation with 'Professional couriers' and 'Express'....dispatch is a job where you can change horse three times in a day. I also rode with Addison Lee a while and ...gawd there's loads. The best company though was GLC (Greater London Couriers) with their 25% attendance bonus and no advertising their jobs...word of mouth! I rode a gaggle of CB250 RS's one reached 77,000 miles. A CB250 wet dream, a GT380 (got me nicked) A z400J..came off at 70mph and never hurt myself, came off again at about 15 mph and thought I'd bust my leg. I did get a ban for 6 months and knew most of the Police station cells from being arrested non payment of fines lol. I couldn't resist turning up now and then on my RG500s. I quit the job in 1991.
