Hi everyone. This is my first post on the forum, so hiya how you doing?! I passed my CBT last week and I've been eyeing up a couple of bikes since. I've spotted one about 35 miles away and have agreed a price with the private seller. Being my first bike, I was hoping you might have some advice on what to check/avoiding pitfalls etc. I've had a full hpi check done which has come back clear. I won't have any insurance or tax but the seller seems to think I can still ride it away. I'm not sure about this and can't seem to find a clear answer online. I've seen something called temporary insurance which I can use for the day, but the tax thing... surely I can't ride the bike without tax? Also, can you get insurance without tax? And if there's anything else I should be thinking about/checking, I would be grateful for any advice you could give to ensure I'm buying responsibly. cheers! Squibb
