Scraaping a bike

[636steve]

I have recently got rid of most of the bits off my old crashed track bike and have also cut up and disposed of the frame.

I am trying to notify the dvla that I have scrapped it nut there doesn't seem to be a way of doing it unless I have a certificate from an approved breakers, which I don't have.

I have tried phoning them but there lines are always 'too busy to take my call'.

There used to be a box to tick on the V5 but this is no longer an option.

Anyone know how to notify them properly?

I think that 'disposal' of a frame can only legally done by a registered scrap yard nowadays.

So it would seem, doesn't help that I have already done it though. Guess I will have to keep trying to get them on the phone to sort it.

There must be some procedure for this I'm sure your not the first person to do it yourself

thats harsh could have only been 5/6 years since i broke my old zzr1100
sold all the parts i could, took frame down to recycling and just sent form to dvla
sounds like going to have to try and get hold of someone at dvla ...somehow
glad i read this topic as useful to know its changed

report it stolen.

Making it fraud - great idea, lying to the law when a simple call to the DVLA should sort it.

Failing that find a friendly scrapper and see if they'll help.

I presume you don't have the frame "bits"?
