Well, today I have done the unthinkable and dclared the bike SORN

Its not because it doesn't work, but I rarely get to ride it so I figure I can save some money by taxing it for 6mths during the nice weather and declaring it SORN for the winter

My question is this: The MOT ran out in November (bike hasn't been ridden since) and I know that you can ride to a testing station without a valid MOT, but now when the bike is going to go back on the road it will not have tax either.

Where do I stand if pulled as I can't get a tax disc without an MOT?

You have to insure, then tax, then MOT.

I always thought that you can ride/drive to a pre-booked MOT as long as you have insurance, you cannot get tax until the vehicle is MOTed any way. I have always done this in the past and never had a problem. So I would say its: Verify insurance
Book the MOT
When passed tax the bike.

Spot on Biker835.

you are allowed to ride the bike to an MOT station & back without tax or MOT. you SHOULD have it pre booked for an mot & if it fails you can then ride it home again.
a friend once travelled to london & bought a classic car, booked it in for an MOT in newcastle, insured it & drove it home-he got stopped on the way & was reluctantly let on his way, as he wasnt breaking the law, stretching it ? most likely. i think these days it a station within reasnoble distance.

That's what I tought but wanted to make sure. Insurance will still be in place anyway.

Ta chaps

Yep - that's basically what I do with the Ducati - it's only taxed 6 months of the year, so I have to run it up to the MOT centre without a tax. So long as it's booked (within, as DP says, a reasonable distance), and the police can call to verify that, you're clear.

Oops, sorry got those back to front - my bad

What you need to make sure of is that when you book the MOT they take the reg no of the bike - that proves it's the one you're riding!

And it should be the nearest - or very near anyway.
