In mitigation of some of the negative press these folks get . . .

 . . . I took in a bunch of documents to register my SL350 K2 into the Sidcup offices of the DVLA on Wednesday - which included a page with 4 images of the bike showing the frame and engine numbers.

In the post this morning (Friday), I got an envelope of papers containing various documents including a new MOT, numberplate authorisation certificate (old J reg) and historic vehicle tax disc.  V5 will follow. 

I reckon that's pretty good service for £55   ;)

You're talking about your local VRO. Over the years getting age related reg's I've dealt with both Carlisle and Preston VRO who were both excellent, very helpful and knowledable. I can't praise the local VRO's enough.

The DVLA (Swansea) does get justifiable bad press coz they're a PIA bunch of idiots who don't understand or care. My recent experiences with logbooks is witness to that, I then was passed to Preston VRO who sorted it all very quickly. Brilliant.

Just my 2p ;)

I agree, the local VRO's have always been helpful, but Swansea is another matter---if you can get through on the phone most of them havent a clue and have to go and ask, try being a type 2 diabetic with an LGV licence!!!

Problem is they are talking about closing the VRO's so you will have to deal with Swansea

Hmmmm, anyone know how difficult it will be for me to register my 550?  I bought a new frame from DavidSilvers years ago..no numbers stamped on the frame. The bike hasn't been taxed since 84.

Bryanj:
Have you got a bike that you are replacing the frame on, if so you just re-stamp those numbers into it, as done at any Honda dealer doing an insurance job.

If you want to actualy try and register it as a "New" vehicle you are in for mega time wasting paperwork and a "Q" plate at the end
