The guy there was super-helpful and I got the certificate in the post the next day. All for £20. Many thanks to the member who suggested it. I was mentally preparing for a Plan B scenario with either a Q plate (yuk) or buying another Z900 frame with a V5 (very expensive). Relief is too small a word.
So, if I get my act together tonight, I can ride the bike to work tomorrow. Ace Cafe here we come.
i have tried the same procedure + used the same company for the dating certificate who are registered on the DVLA site but my local jobs worth DVLA office have said they will only except a dating letter from the original importer which is H**** UK phoned H**** uk they said i have to pay £30 to them but because the bike is older than 20 years they will have to forward the details to Japan which could take up to six weeks + there is no guarantee that they can provide this information so i am a bit pissed to say the least as to why do the DVLA advertise on their web site company's who are registered to submit dating letters + then when you go to register the machine they say they will only except dating letters from the original importer
