It is SORN so he needs to tax it now before he can have some fun. Trouble is the V5 is in his flat in Plymouth (where nobody else has access) and DVLA wont let him pay for the tax without the reference number from the V5.
I can understand not being able to SORN without a reference number as that may result in someone making your bike illegal without you knowing, but taxing it?? We want to pay them money. I guess it is to stop you typing in A123ABC when you meant to tax A132ABC etc but doesn't help him this weekend.
Sods law that is! You would have thought you'd he'd able to sort it online, you can do practically everying else online these days. Trouble is it's not worth the risk of riding out without tax. Unfortnately there's lots of untaxed and uninsured scrote cagers on the road, tough luck if you happen to run into one
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
