I think his best bet is as someone suggested earlier in the thread to contact ebay and try and get his money back, citing the fact that the seller has so far refused/been unable to provide the V5. In the meantime put the bike in the garage and leave it there.

Here is another, which will apply to tearing round a car park :whistle:


Harassment, Alarm and Distress: Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002, makes it an offence for a motor vehicle to be used on a road or public place in a manner which causes
harassment, alarm or distress.

Matthew's good at quoting Rulz to people !


If he hasn't got your point yet, I certainly have....I think you run the risk of repeating yourself. You've got enough ammunition now to stop him in his tracks in future if he goes off on one ;)

Gordon Bennett, with friends like these...

Matthew, young feller me lad. You've been a bit of a twit, as you'll have gathered by now, but then again, as a young feller me lad, that's pretty much your job description. Don't take any of this too much to heart, but...

You've received two bits of 24 carat advice on this thread. I suggest you pay heed, and act accordingly.

First, contact your seller and say that unless you have a V5 in your sweaty little paw within 48 hours, the deal is off. You bought a legit bike; you have good reason to believe you haven't received one; you want your money back. If, as is more than likely, you hear nothing back, contact ebay, saying you bought a bike in good faith, but despite numerous promises the V5 has not materialised; you therefore believe the vehicle to be illegal; and you want to cancel the deal and get your money back. You will get your money back. Ebay, as has been bemoaned many times on this forum, almost always comes down on the side of the buyer, and your case seems particularly strong. Indeed, I'd look on the non-appearance of the V5 as your undeserved get out of jail free card. If it had arrived, you'd probably have to put the thing back on ebay, which would almost certainly end up leaving a big hole in your pocket - ebay + paypal fees = 10%, give or take. You might - just might - come out of this unscathed. Which to be honest, is more than you deserve. Count your blessings, and learn from it.

Second, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Suggested on page 2 of the thread (see below) and also when the machine was first bought and arrived sans V5. I do not think that route will be followed.

It ought to be.

No V5 after all this time?
Return it via eBay (I don't know how that would work, but I know you can).
It was meant to be 'in the post'. Return the bike, get your money back and put it all into the car fund.
Seriously.

Is this not the description on the video?:


Leaving that aside, something smells very fishy about this bike. The fact that the speedometer is a KPH one suggests it wasn't imported through official channels and the fact the V5 hasn't turned up makes me wonder whether the thing has been properly registered at all. What checks did you do before buying?


Yep , phone Interpol:crazy:

Does the seller not send the V5 back to DVLA who will send it to Mathew or are things done differently now.

It's meant to be signed by both seller and new keeper and sent off by the seller and the new keeper gets the keepers slip. Takes a few weeks for a new one to appear normally but it's no longer just handed over, hasn't been for many a year: Let's not get caught up in facts though, there's a lynching to be had.

Matthew should have got the bit for the new keeper, though, with the bike!

Yes but this^ never happened from what I can tell.

The seller is sending the V5 in the post. He said that he forgot to give it to the delivery driver. (I dont know how to quote posts from other threads sorry, but Matthew posted this in the thread about the cost of the car).

To me it all sounded a bit dodgy from this point on.
