They don't make it easy do they

I've been trying to tax my new bike and the overall impression I'm getting is that they are deliberately trying to make it hard.

Couldn't get dealer to tax it as Post Office wouldn't accept a faxed copy of my insurance certificate.
Couldn't tax it on the day I picked it up as it was a Saturday and all the Post Offices are shut after 12:30.
Couldn't tax it online as there is a change of keeper in progress and it won't let me.
Couldn't tax it this morning at my local Post Office because it's now been closed.
Couldn't tax it at lunch time as the Post Office near my work doesn't issue Road Tax.
Walked to DVLA office which has moved.

I'll have to drive to the main Post Office in my home town to get it done.

Just a rant.

I read that too, I know plenty of bikers and every single one pays road tax.

Same. There was an analysis of this stat in MCN the other day, As stated by Ben M, they came to the conclusion that they were using the stats for SORN bike.
