[hairnet]

[hairnet]

oh and it kicked and started when it wasnt connected to the jump starter (wondered if it would)

is that normal?

[Dave_Q]

Yes of course it is, kicking it over makes electricity happen.

Lots of old bikes don't have a battery at all. Mostly needed for the electric start, if it has one

[hairnet]

My old Honda SS50 had a battery and I seem to recall the C50 step through a did as well.

Docs will be sent to dvla

They are mixture of 2021 and 1950

The address is mentioned on the guidance notes: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/976046/V355-5-guide-to-filling-application-for-first-vehicle-tax-and-registration-of-used-motor-vehicle.pdf

Just have a check through and make sure you have included your ID (photocopy of driving licence) as it doesn't say anywhere on the V55 but they will reject without it.

I wish there public list of all the valid body types 

theres a shit load more then what they list here! 

(I say valid as the body type is one of those things that is stored in Coded form on the DVLA back end,  and as such only have a fixed list of valid terms, so if you put "smoll moped" in the field it will just come back as Moped since they probably dont have a code for "smoll moped" LOL)

for example the amount of Invalid carriages iv seen incorrectly registered as Tricycles because people did not realise that "invalid vehicle" is a DVLA coded body type is beggars belief

 

although my favourite has to be, these, which im sure most people would register as special van, lorry or even Luton van or something such

but no the DVLA does actually have a dedicated body type for them

pantechnicon

 how many people would know that! I mean how many people at the DVLA even still know that!

its such an old worldly term, and is a lovely hold over from the DVLC's vehicle computerisation in the 1970's when such words where in more common use and it tickles me that someone back then in 1974 when setting up the DVLC computer thought to create a proper entry for that body type LOL

Ironically I cant actually find an example as of current to show that is correctly registered as a pantechnicon, but I know its valid body type because I came across a milk float of all things registered as one while conducting some Milk float research a while back for @Mrs6C as you do  

edit: here we go I found the milk float one at least LOL EEH27Y

DVLA, insane system. I also have ordered a new cheque book just to pay DVLA.  The local post office has disappeared so can't do a postal order.. I'm still waiting on HMRC.

Some time we should get these two ( CT versus SJ ) 50 mph offroaders together for a challenge off-road and on.

send the registration retention certificate thingy in with the V55/5 and ask they directly put that registration on when registering it

so then when someone looks at it they wont see any previous plate history  

[wuvvum]

Is it going to be registered in time for you to ride it down to the FOD on the 21st?

pantechnicon

Strictly speaking that is a Luton.  A Pantechnicon is more this style.

With no visible division 'twixt cab and body.  Although the definition has become muddled as nobody really makes pantechnicons anymore.

Extremely unlikely they are taking minimum 5-6 weeks at the moment and sometimes longer.

Although, just insuring it anyway on the frame number and riding around on the NZ transit plates* would be something we have seen before on this forum and fairly unlikely to get you in too much trouble if you had a good playing dumb face

failing that I wonder if @hairnet knows someone with a set of trade plates he can borrow?

I never knew that.  As far as Lutons go, the other fekker is a big Luton, does that make it a Bedfordshire.

The other ‘old skool’ term you don’t hear these days, is ‘Shooting Brake’.  I think the good call them ‘long roofs’. Car related I know
