I thought it was a second hand bike... isn't it taxed already?

Anyway... best of luck... it's a great feeling!!!!!

Get the insurers to fax the cover note over to the dealer. Should be no probs for them.

I believe they insist on the original copy.

And then watch as the jobsworth at the post office says NO.

I was going to ride the bike straight home about a mile and park it at works garage until I get the tax. I would never normally do that but... I want to get the bike home or at least work for know. and yes an original covernote is needed for getting it taxed. it's secondhand but no tax. the person who had it before must have got the money back i would have thought

If the MOT is the printed (computerised) one, you may be able to do it online.

Can't the dealer tax it on his insurance?

Quite common when buying cars or selling cars.

I've never seen them do that. As I understand it they can't.

Just ride without tax, hell most bikers do it anyway!!

I did ride without tax. what a feeeeeeling. its now in the garage until I get the tax sorted tomorrow, then the safe fun starts

Yep, no tax on mine.
Since some wnaker cut it off, mine stays firmly in my wallet.

I have part of a tax disc on mine.

Whomever fitted it though it would be a good idea to do so to the bottom of the fairing near the stand.

Its get worn down more & more each time on track (like a lean gauge)

The best feeling is when you redline a GSXR for the first time (not in 1st I might add), sensational!
