Roy, once it has tax you can ride it to any inspection if one is needed, but as it's a UK bike not an import it shouldn't be an issue.

The 'more info and 'spit hits the fan' was a throw-away comment and not meant to alarm you, sorry if it did!
Sometimes, quite rightly, when they get an old V5 back, they just ask a few questions - certainly nothing to worry about.  I'm glad they sometimes check that there is actually a vehicle to go with this scruffy, tea stained piece of paper and not someone just trying to make a fast buck from a valuable number.  I've done a few like this and a mate here in Orkney has done 2 this week at our main Post Office in Kirkwall.  Hand over the V5, filled in and they should do the rest.

My own experience with an old style V5 wasn't good. It was for a CB250G5. DVLA insisted that I get a dating certificate, even though I provided photo's that the bike (only 2k miles) was bog standard in every respect and they said they may have to inspect the vehicle too. I contacted Ray Davis regarding obtaining a dating cert. but he told me that one of the digits on the frame had rusted and wasn't clearly defined,so he would not be able to  issue a cert. So I just sold the bike on eBay and let the new owner sort it out (telling him the score re DVLA). He obviously had more success than me because he got a V5C and it's on the road now. 

My own bomber was just a frame initially but because in was on the DVLA computer register I just sent off the old style V5 and got a V5C back without any hassle....ludicrous really.

From what you guys are saying about the problems that may be encountered with an old style V5 it may be better to say that you don't have one!

I bought my bike without a log book. The process of getting a new V5C was  straightforward. I filled in DVLA form V62 with my details together with the frame and registration numbers and sent it off with a cheque for £25. I got an acknowledgement from DVLA a couple of days later saying that my application should be processed on 01st October and a V5C issued within a few days. Got the V5C log book through the post on 5th Oct, so no problems or complaints.
