hey peeps need a bit of help. basically, a mate has got a private number plate on his bike but its in bits in a workshop as he has lost all interest in it. i was going to buy it from him and either use it as spares or turn it into a track bike. hes willing to let me have it for a beer but he wants to transfer his reg no to his car. so... does the bike have to be mot'd and taxed to transfer the number? or is there another way to transfer it as to get it road legal will cost about 4-450 quid. cheers for the help.

looks like it may have to get one an 'alternative' way...
