Well what can I say........................
Hooray FOD Day is here .... Rise at 7.30 , wash REX, fill up with fuel, see my mate on way home polishing his bike that we collected from Sutton, Surrey last night (home at 2.30 am) good deed done there so by the law of averages and a smile from the BIG MAN above a GREAT weekend in store ...
Mate says " I don't like this anodised gold tax disc holder, do you want it, it would look good on your bike"
"OK" says I "I'll swap it over before I go"....... :hmm: something missing............ that'll be the fcuking tax disc holder
Get home asap, frantic search in 'My Garage' for the fcuker ...... nope :hair: ....
So I phone the police (very nice lady operator sympathetic and genuine and very helpful ), issued me with a crime number and told me to speak DVLA for advice, as it is a crime now to ride the bike without displaying the tax.
Phone DVLA for the options available....
Option one .... replacement tax disc, yes this can be done BUT only at a DVLA local office Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm with a nominal fee of £10 (only £6 worth of tax left on the bike)
Option two .... tax from scratch at a local Post Office as the renewal date is End of August and I'll only lose £6 , yes this can be done BUT you need a form from the DVLA explaining the circumstances and to claim a refund ..."We'll post it first class today BUT this form may be on-line ...... boy do I
Guess what ........... the insurance details on the bike are inncorrect ... phone call to Carole Nash ... "oops so sorry sir, we'll post an amended set first class today" ... why does the world grind to a halt on a Saturday ......
Anyway .... hope that those of you who got there OK enjoyed it ... i'm off to hang myself....... :hmm: maybe not, the way my luck is going I'll probably FCUK that up ...... have one for me guys .....
P.S. SHE-REX is pretty pi55ed off too ....
