I googled it and it is U.K. legal classification that means the the vehicle is off the road and gives you a break on taxes/fees while it not in use. (?)
https://www.gov.uk/register-sorn-sta...d-notification SORN = Statutory Off Road Notification. Which means some of our brethren from the british isles will need to help him with his question. jeff

Must be different in the us. In the uk for a car to be on the drive it must be taxed m.o.t and insured or you must sorn it ( declare it off the road) but I don't know if this is the same for keeping a bike in the shed behind the house??and what can happen if I don't sorn it ??

Yes you must sorn it, otherwise you will get an ?80 find as I recall.
I've had to sorn mine for the 2 years it's been in storage..

Yeah youl be fine as long as you have a bill of sale proving the date you bought it. But to be honest I don't think youl here anything. A yrs tax dosent cost much so might as well tax it.
