When I were a lad

[Stueeee]

Thanks.

I noticed a V5C document shown as part of the description of sale for a bike online. It states that " This document is not proof of ownership " so is there other paperwork I need to acquire ?

In the US, a single paper "Pink Slip" is all that is needed for proof of ownership and transfer of ownership. An identical white copy is provided as the yearly registration form, which has to be kept with the vehicle.

Yes, the V5C document states who the keeper is. The keeper is usually the owner as well; an exception might be when a finance company has lent against the value of a vehicle. This is easily checked online, and is unlikely to be an issue buying an old motorbike; here's one provider: https://hpicheck.com/?gclid=CjwKCAj...p6b0NZuFYNIitR7kSF36oSb8DMIkARoxoCq8IQAvD_BwE. Unlike a lot of US states, we don't have a system of vehicle titles issued by a local DMV in the UK.

Going into the customs shed at Southend airport to declare our Duty Free and was a bit suprised the very explicit porn on show. One is went to OZ for a bit and worked on the docks, somehow the latest delivery of Playboy was always known and the pallet dropped by the crane... After tidying up, it was a bit lighter.
A GF in the 80s, quite glam, was an occasional biker and had a HD Café Racer, along with a Norton 500 stashed away. She flogged the HD to a london guy, very well know in the HD world. His son held records at Santa Pod with a blown nitro fueld one.

Thanks, and for the link; I added it to my computer favourites bar.

When our old tractor driver passed away we found a stash of Plumpers monthly behind the seat

Jetwash time

When I were a lad I bought this air rivet gun, I can understand inflation but what do you think these cost me twenty odd years ago? Been in the draw all this time, got them out to use them, original price is still on them and bear in mind this is retail.

Still a current model with the same part number.

`Haven't seen scales like this since I were a lad, I bet they still work

Somewhat similar to this weighbridge opposite @barking mat 's favourite bar. That's the bar owner weighing a load of apples which will end up as cider in the bar shop. Very nice it is too
