You should have filled the form in stating you had scrapped the bike or given it away, then it wouldn't have been your problem. You must sorn it if you haven't, you may have to ring DVLA and explain the situation to them. But knowing them you will get fined anyway.

On the reminder you could tick the SORN box and send that off (or do it online at www.dvla.gov.uk/taxdisc).

Friend or not, you should have sent off the V5C to register the change of ownership - it's the previous keeper's responsibility (i.e. yours!) to notify DVLA.

It go and get the V5C back off your mate, fill it in and send it off (giving him the green V5C/2 New Keeper's Supplement). You'll get a letter back from DVLA confirming you're no longer the registered keeper.
