insurance, mot then tax

Get insurance first, then you can ride it to the MOT station (providing its for a pre-booked test). Then with your insurance cert, your MOT and the log book, you can pop down the Post Office and get it taxed.

To buy tax you need to be able to show a valid insurance cert. and your MOT cert. so get the insurance and then an MOT.

I take it by putting it back on the road you just mean that it has been off the road (SORN) for some time and needs to be roadworthy, and not putting a bike which (or isn't anymore) road registered on the road?

cheers lads yeah i took it off the road about a year ago (SORN). do i need to tell the DVLA that it is going back on the road? and when you say log book is that the paper were it has the previous owner, reg number my details and when you sell it you give the bottom bit ( V5 i think its called not to sure).

The act of buying tax will let the DVLA know that the bike is no longer SORN'd.

V5 = logbook!
