Problem with expired temporary imported motorbike

[timpel_800]

You will need to get the WOF issued while the plate is on the original bike as they will check the VIN to see that it matches the paperwork. Once that is done then swap the plate over and update the registration, if necessary, at the AA.
Because both bikes are Guzzis i can't see you having a problem unless you are involved in an accident. If you ride safe and carefully you should be ok.

The original bike is in pieces so hard to get that one WOF issued
The bike is a 1989 built so it has no VIN number but a chassis number. We are going to duplicate the chassis number on a aluminium plate and mount it to my bike (my bike has also the details on a alu plate riveted on the frame). Then get a WOF and a rego.
Sounds okay?

Maybe I should've been more clearly. If we are swapping plates, I'm going to get a new WOF and Rego for the bike! Should be not a big problem I guess. It's a moto guzzi and the bike were I get the plates from is also a Guzzi. Different model but still hard to tell the difference.

All the details of the bike the plates belong to ... come up on the computer when the WOF is done. If the tester notes the different details to what he has in front of him ...

Get a WOF on your mates Guzzi before you swap plates. And get it's rego up to date if you can.

so I'm not able to get a WOF for a friend? Or for example my girlfriend? You have to be there in person?

If you're going to do it, just do it man. Posting up the details on the internet about it probably isn't going to do you any favours about keeping it on the down low

Enjoy the trip!

Anyone can get a WOF or register/license any vehicle

The vehicle that you are getting a WOF for has to be there "In person". They test it .. not you.

Anyway what's the worst they'll do? Deport you

...or even worse, make you stay...

if they do the wof properly they will check the chassis number against the reg plate, better off gettin ya mates bike wof and reg then doin swap

his mates bike is in peices!

Put mates bike plates on ... book/take in for WOF at a busy time of day ... (chances are ... it wont be closely checked) places that do cars AND bikes ...

dont bother vinning it. (if its not in the cop-puter, they cant do feckall, legally.)
Ill have it when you leave.

Just a thought but, no wof or reg is petty misdemeanour type stuff. Max problem is fines and no insurance in the event of a crash. Conversion is a criminal act. I know at least 2 people who have spent time at the leisure of her majesty for conversion. One was in a stolen car with legit plates transferred. The other was on his own bike riding on the rego of his crashed bike. As a second time offender ( previous shoplifting charge) he did not qualify for diversion. You would also be uninsured in the event of a crash.

Conversion may be the wrong term given you are not depriving anyone o their legitimate claim to property but it is fraud.

Your signature on ALL the forms declare the stated particulars are true and correct. (and worded to that effect)

Making a false declaration is then the charge if court action is taken against you.
