Question About Taxing My Bike.

[Dave70]

Hi folks.

As some of you may be aware, I came back to the UK a few months ago and brought my bike with me.

I am still on Manx plates at the moment and would like to keep them as long as is legally possible, mainly as they don't show up on ANPR systems. This is not because I ride like an idiot and want to flout the law particularly, although we all make mistakes now and then but, it does appear that po po leave me alone when they clock the plates. Also, they can't enforce silly parking fines either. I'm also quite fond of my Manx plates, as daft as that sounds.

Anyway, my problem is, that my Manx road tax is due to expire at the end of this month and I looked into purchasing it online but, I can't as they send you a number to use through the post.

Am I going to have to register the bike in the UK to have to purchase road tax here or does anyone know a way around this?

Check my thinking.

Make it to October, no physical vehicle license (tax disc) is required. It's all down to what The Computer says.

The Computer sees Manx plates, says "Don't ask me, guv".

Perfect "crime"?

Want a spare plate that is tax/mot/insured?

I'm sure you will do the right thing, but the thing is, until you do UK register it, you're almost entirely beyond the law.

Even if you get stopped, you can just gabble in Manx, show them the webbing (where do you get gloves with 6 fingers?), and make it look like more trouble than it's worth.

Not that I'm advocating it, just... noting it.
