He'll have 2 pings now. If he responds we can ask him how his motorised roller bump start machine is coming along. :thumbup:

I imagine he's not on here very often because he's been killed by those rollers.

Dating letters only last 12 months, I've been advised to do Nova route and send it and a letter stating I bought it as a Box of bits at an Autojumble to avoid the chance of getting charged import duty.

I registered a YZ465 years ago and it was pretty easy. MOT on frame number then apply for V5 with supporting paperwork. Didn't have a NOVA certificate for that one.

Might be worth pinging @Liamblack1987 that there's been a reply. :)
