Might it be better to put 6 months tax on it so that its not SORN? That way the new owner can ride it away which will make it more attractive for the buyer.

Hello MIDGE....I take your point, but rather than have a bike standing around with Tax running out and not attracting any customers, it's easier just to SORN it then offer to get it Taxed for the winning bidder if that's what they want....If they have plans to do some work on it ( ie so it'll be off the road for a while longer) then the SORN option will suit them as well----- always remembering that SORN is NON-TRANSFERABLE..... Similarly with an MoT, but at least that's not aligned to the beginning of a calendar month.... Is this interest of yours a pre-amble to buying it then ?? LoL !! ("Special rates" for forum members)

Aan, just remember that on Sunday 2nd June, you are required to attend MadMikes Gathering, so just make sure you have a rideable bike for the day. LOL See you there.

Hi Alan. Could you enlighten a
colonial lad what exactly in UK
does SORN signify? For umpteen
years wondered what it is,as
seen this in Brit.'bike adverts
and there is no listing in the
Urban Dictionary, so presumably
it isn't too kinky, else would
be over the pond by now.
THanxs, Gordon

Thanks, Pete, for SORN being
finally demysterfied, life in
Canada sure is simplier!

It'd be simpler here in the UK if you'd take Michael Buble back...
