    As long as its taxed you don't need to sorn it. If the tax runs out before March when you are going to start using the bike again you will have to sorn it. As you need the mot to tax it, if the tax runs out before you mot it you wont be able to re tax it so would have to sorn it then.
  • thank you ,that saves me freezing my nuts off taking it to get an mot it can stay in the garage then.
