Frustrated...

[Pickle]

Got a new bike a week ago, nice little ER6n. But I can't ride it, cos the DVLA haven't got round to sending the V5 through yet.

On top of that, I can't get rid of my old ER5. No-one seems to want her. So in the meantime, I am still riding her to work, cramming 2 bikes into one parking space, and every day I have to look my new bike in the eyes and not get on...

At this rate, I'll be calling webuyanybike.com just to get the old one out of my sight. I think I'd rather get the tube... almost. I know I should have waited to get the new one before selling the old one, but I couldn't pass up the bargain!

Why are you waiting for the V5?


I've never ever ever waited for the V5...

Tax? Do it online...

can't tax online unless the vehicle is in the right name as the tax will go to the wrong place.

You don't need the v5 to ride it.

If you have the new keepers slip it helps but if you did get pulled, they can't do you for anything.

[MonkeyKnuckle]

You can tax it if you take the new keepers slip (might need some other stuff as well, can't remember) to the post office, that's what I did when the DVLA took ages to send the V5 through.

You can ride without the V5. Get on it, enjoy this nice weather.

Don't really want to risk it... At the moment, this bike is proving more trouble than it was worth - wasn't even able to transfer my one year's no claims over for the insurance.

I don't think I'm very good at this bike buying lark.

Personally I'd take all the documents I had (plus print anything you think you may need - such as the insurance details) and give it a go.

Like m0l0t0v said, the worse they can say is no.


Actually, if I remember correctly, my bike is an 06 plate so I don't think the woman even looked at my MOT certificate, even though I had one.

Right then - I'm off to the PO on Monday where I will lose 2 hours of my life in the queue, but I may also walk away with my tax disc!

Thanks chaps.

Now to solve the problem of the ER5...

I've taken a printout of my insurance certificate from the PDF file they sent me and never had a problem - no questions asked. The V5C slip will also be fine for tax. DO IT!!!!!

Where are you located and can you give me some detail on the ER5 your selling, pictures would help. I have a mate at work who is looking for one at the right price.

I bought my current bike with no road tax, I rode it to the Post Office and handed over the new registered keeper slip and a copy of my insurance document and they taxed it for me there and then.

It can be done!

Dealership told me that as long as the purpose of my journey was to tax the bike then I was fine to ride. If I was pulled over they would explain to the police that I had literally just ridden out.

Lots of post offices are open on Saturday mornings you know?

I would print off the certificate but not tell them it's this as some get a bit arsey with it.

No tax on bikes doesn't seem to be a big thing around here, though I do try and keep mine in tax regardless.[/u]

[Ariel Badger]

Main Post Offices are open all day Sat.

Main post office near me wouldn't accept a printed insurance certificate but I went to a local village one and they barely looked at the documents so I got my tax.

There is no risk. So long as you have a license, tax, mot and insurance you are legal.

[m0l0t0v]

True, there is no risk if you have a licence, tax, mot and insurance.


But he's missing the tax bit
