Dude,
Will the dealer not stick tax on it for you if you pay for it? Give um a call and ask, what the worst they can say . . . . . .no, in which case your no worse off. They should have the facility to do it other wise how could they sell bike with on otr price tags. It' s worth a shot. TBH I don't think it'll be problem, but if it gives you peace of mind then you'll be able to enjoy the bike more. |

I always thought that any reliable reputable dealer wouldn't by law let you ride away without displaying a current tax disc!!!!

Bikes are always dangerous so a few pills and no road tax can't make things any worse.

i got fined for no tax when i got my bike.. same situation, but it was about two weeks before docs came through.. and then the post office wouldnt let me back date the tax to the beginning of the month.
i think i bought it on the 14th nov, tried to tax it 27th nov.. and they'd only tax it from dec. if i recall correctly it was £80 fine.. k |

The long and short of it is that it would be illegal to ride the bike without the tax. It matters not if you intend to buy it essentially backdated (as it runs form start of the month) at the time you ride the bike you have no TAX.
Also note that if you have a bump, that you will technically be uninsured too!!! Likelyhood of getting caught in a couple of days??!?!?!? If you are me, and SODs law always applies, 100% ![]() Its down to you my man, but be under no illusion that it is ‘OK’ in the eyes of the law. |
