Should I be worried?

Yeah, next vehicle I sell I'm going to photocopy the V5 before I send it off too so I've got evidence of new keeper if DVLA lose it.

Hmm, notes in my hand. Bye mate, have a good ride!!

Darwinisim in full effect.

So no one's worried about him taking out the innocent when he loses it? :
So no one would shop a drunk driver?

I have not read the rest of the post in any detail, but surely you did what it says to do on the V5 and kept the current keeper part to send back to the DVLA to notify them?

If you gave the new owner that, then I would get yourself a letter knocked up and sent to the dvla as soon as possible.

I have shopped drunk drivers in the past, and would do so again.

What makes this different is that there is nothing affecting his riding ability (assuming for a second that he has some). For me to sell a bike, prove who you are... bank statement with your name on it... that'll do. So long as I can fill in the V5. How you get it home is your responsability once I have the notes.

If he takes out an innocent on the way home, well, they claim against the MIB (no, not the fella's in black suits).

Well I was kind of labouring under the assumption that you actually learnt something in the process of obtaining a licence

Personally, I already knew how to ride a bike before I did my test. I also had a car licence, so knew how to obey the laws of the road.

2+2 = 5, ability, but not legally permitted to drive (this guy without the licence).

What would make you think that?

OK, I admit I read on the internet how to change gears on a bike a few weeks before starting training.
Should have just put in for my test I s'pose

When learning how to pass a test, you learn how to pass a test. It doesn't help much with actually riding the bike in practice.
