When i insure it on Friday. will it show on the system instantly?

It should do yes. Most insurers now opt for you to give a date and a time of when the insurance commences. So if you opt for it to start at Friday at 7am, you can then buy tax from that point onwards and it will show as taxed on the system. The way to check it is to go to askmid. I've done it on many cars and bikes and never had a problem with doing it online.
simply print off the screen when you have paid for the tax and ordered it, so if you do get asked/stopped you can show that it is taxed and legal.

Some insurer's pass the info through to the insurance database immediately, some do it once a day (my wife's car insurer do it overnight, so if you call up to insure at 8am, you're not on ASKMID until the next morning).

I just insured my SV. Devitt must have updated the database within about 20 minutes.

To answer the other question, yes, the postoffice accepted a really **** scanned insurance document from me this week.

Since April 2010, they'll even accept a fax (unless you get a 70 year old granny serving you, I assume)

Bit of a de-rail, but if you have a vehicle SORN'd and the MOT lapses how do you get it back on the road? Because you can't tax without an MOT and you can't ride/drive to the MOT station (even with an appointment) if it's not taxed without braking the law.

This. If it shows up as insured on ASKMID.com then you'll be able to tax online. If it doesn't, you won't. Most insurers update pretty quickly nowadays but it won't necessarily be instant - overnight is common.

The law's been changed so e-mailed certificates are OK for you to print off at home.

I thought you could - direct route to the MOT station with appointment and direct route back home - and then get it taxed. I hope so anyway - I'll be taking my untaxed SV for an MOT in the next week or so.

I knew you could take a lapsed MOT to an appointment, but wasn't sure about the tax issue.

yea you can take it to the mot station as long as you have an appointment, direct route etc BUT if it fails, you cannot ride it home. im pretty sure that is right, because then it is not roadworthy.
