Getting a rightoff back on the road

[supermono]

My bike was written off last summer and I bought the salvage and a load of bits. It'll be good as new in the next few weeks and I want it back on the road.

What's the procedure?

Presumably the previous owner handed V5 to Insurance Co when vehicle written off and they in turn sent V5 to DVLA.

You will have to apply to DVLA to re register the vehicle.

Depends what category it was. Will probably require an inspection by VOSA before being put on the road.

Can't help you, but the term is "write off", not "right off" as many common people think.

You know as soon as I posted that I saw what a imbecile I was. I HATE people getting basic stuff like that wrong, I really do. All I can do is apologise. I know it's written off, it's a write off.

Trouble is you can't go back and edit the title so I'm going to look like I've not been to school. For ever....

Sorry bud.
