Hi guys, want some advice about getting my bike back.
Basically I left it with a work collegue when I left to work abroad, he has since SORNed it. It has no MOT either and is registered to him (original idea was that he was going to sell it, but that hasn't happened and now I am due to finally come back to UK and want to pick it up).
So the question is, in what order do I need to do things to get it on the road? Take ownership, MOT it, then tax it and then get insurance it to ride it? Can I ride it to the MOT centre untaxed? DVLA seems to suggest it needs to be MOTed before they can give me the tax disk.
