I certainly would not suggest borrowing but: -
If A50 wheels fit you can borrow mine for a short time. Where are you.

Thats very kind of you Mike , I'm in Portsmouth. I think I'm going to restore the bike to standard and aim for an age related plate, it wont need a lot of bits. No way am i sticking a Q plate on her, that would be like wearing a fake rolex or wearing an armani suit with Asda socks and pants.

I once had a bike that was a 1983 machine, imported from Italy, when the log book came it was a 1963, I wasn't going to complain, (free tax etc) I can stand a mistake once but not twice. ;D ;D

Having fun registering my Bultaco Sherpa from 1972. Had it for years and it has never been registered. Got so far but Swansea want a Nova certificate... Who in turn want full certificate of confirmity in English . As Bultaco ceased making these or any bikes in the seventies , more chance of plaiting fog. Got a copy of the Spanish import doccuments that relate to year of manufacture , possibly acceptabe they say. Last thing from them was please telephone us... Number is not accepting calls at present... Think there are 'jobs worth' type working in government departments trying to keep their jobs.... >:( Griff

Bit of success.. Got Nova certificate so now just got to get Bultace to re-write the conformation letter and say the proof of age etc. was by photographic evidence. They have signed the photo's as correct for the bike but not put it in the letter.. Must check all full stops and commas before re submitting. Ah well they are looking after their jobs ? ? ? ::) Griff

Sent the reply with all paperwork checked and re-checked.. It came back saying they could not find the NOVA reference number. Called (yes spoke to a human being) NOVA who said they could not find the reference but it had been registered. They suggested I re-apply for NOVA. Did so and 2 hours later had an e-mail from them to say to call them. Seems they had had a duplicate application from me . (Surprise). They claimed a glitch on the system and had cleared it so would scrap the second application and to carry on with the first reference numbers... Here's hoping as paperwork is now re-submitted... Sods law will be applied and a require a vehicle inspection before registration... Griff
