Re: MOTs: Can you ride to and from the station if you are not taxed?
+1 to YC, reading other threads on here you dont want to be giving them any excuse to sieze it from you.

Re: MOTs: Can you ride to and from the station if you are not taxed?
Seriously I'm fairly sure there is case law where a guy stopped at a petrol station and bought fuel and ciggies and it was deemed legal.

And I'm pretty sure it was the case that stopping for petrol was OK and the ciggies were incidental. A ciggie only stop would be a tug I reckon.
 But like you say, don't give em the excuse and you are fine.

Re: MOTs: Can you ride to and from the station if you are not taxed?
yeah make sure you have tank of fuel and all the cigs you need before you set off lol. phone up to book it it - or if they dont do bookings (why dont they??) just confirm with them that its ok to bring it down before you set off and tell them what bike it is.
I have ridden my bike to MOT station today - no MOT and was on SORN, just told them type of bike. Just ride straight there - no shopping stop offs lol then ride straight back - or via the post office to get it taxed - I came straight home and taxed it online - then went for a play! Sheeemples !

If you're being really anal I don't think you're allowed to leave it outside the post office to get the tax!
