Now this has put me in a really awful position because i was selling my bike with a months MOT and now it only has about 2 and a half weeks left, and I cant get a new MOT because the bike is SORN'd so has no insurance and no tax.

The bike is already hard to sell because I still have the restrictors in and cant afford to have them taken out, and it will be even harder to sell now if it doesnt have an MOT.

Does anyone have a bike trailer or a van I could borrow or even 3rd party insurance and could help me out with getting it to a garage to get a new MOT? I'd of course pay costs and all that stuff, I just cant even ride it myself because all of my bike gear (helmets, leathers, gloves, boots etc, is up in Sheffield as as I was selling it I didnt think I'd have any need to bring it down for the holidays), and it would cost me about £60 in petrol or £60 in train fare just to go get it.

If anyone could help me, that would be fantastic. Thank so much
