Next round at the DVLA today in a few hours , have letter from Piero stating he know his stuff, is owner of Bimota Spa from liquidators and can verify my bike was produced in 1998, so that should be the last hurdle , hopefully.
This registering of bikes is fun !!

[vort28]

Oh what joy, got to the DVLA, went through paper work, Yep that's OK, paid my money and walked out a happy man.
24hr's later I get a call about my missing VOSA certificate, you must have taken it with you they told me, NO, checked, rechecked and checked again, no I dont have it. Turns out they were actually on about an MOT not the SVA ??
So the bike has a full sva test, wieghed, measured , pushed and prodded , everything tested and then still requires an MOT which only checks a fraction of the sva !!! Bloody government rules.
Took it to the mot station,they were more interested in just hearing it run. 4th time to the DVLA today and hopefully the last.

Government bodies are definitely character building

If you ever get bored of the relative ease and simplicity of the UK bureaucracy pop over to Spain for some real fun!

This is about bang on, and amused many Spanish too!

Yep, that about does it !!!
Going to have to do something with my hair before I go !!! But I will be in leather !!

[vort28]

Well the leather chaps and brazilian hair do obviously did the trick. DVLA have confirmed they have all that is needed, paperwork is done and reg number will be whisking its way to me next week
Getting a bit worried about some of the blokes in my office though.

Im away on business for the next 2 weeks

Whack a can of Wurths in the tank. Excellent stuff for cleaning carb jets and fuel systems in general

Thanks oily will give it a go in the YB11 as well. Think it must be an idle jet as the cylinder runs when at 5000rpm but not down low, but will run OK if the chokes are on

Will try to find out about that rear disc this week , was waiting for answers on other bits , but all should be in now.
