I've got someone coming down from Cambridgeshire to Portsmouth to buy my bike but I can't find the V5 anywhere! Crying or Very sad

I have the new keepers supplement from when I bought it, I have a HPI cert for it and variousother bits but can't find the V5 anywhere.. is there anything I can do??

1) I won't be able to sell the bike without it I doubt

and

2) he's going to be pissed off that he's come all this way for nothing

is there ANYTHING I can do, right now??

Phone him and tell the guy. He may or may not be wanting to buy the bike RIGHT NOW anyways. Confused

There is no way he'll entertain you unless that V5 is there.

Failing that, try look harder!!

Why is it, people lose important documents like this??!! Passports, driving licence's etc...Take care of your stuff man!! Laughing

If you can convince him that you are legit then just sign a detailed receipt for the bike.

He's about 20 mins away so I can't call him now... all I can say is about a decent receipt and hope he goes for it based on all the paperwork I do have.. Crying or Very sad

It doesn't prove anything, but show him your insurance cert. for the bike at your address. It might help, as dodgy sellers wouldn't have the bike insured ?

Maybe you could give the DVLA a ring and see if they could confirm the owners name and address (being your name and address) for the bike over the phone to the bloke?

No idea if this is at all possible, just a thought.

Me and zxr400er (who's here at the mo) have just ripped my house apart and finally, FINALLY fucking found it! I'm amazed, it was in my mums wash basket (WTF??) I keep all my documents in one of two box files and the KTM stuff has it's own folder so did the R6.. can't believe I let this one V5 slip Brick Wall
