[Pol Anorl]

financial issues and lack of enthusiam has made me realise i can't afford to ride anymore, selling bike 6 months tax + mot left whilst its still worth something.

EDIT:

Would it be better to SORN it and keep it somewhere? It won't be costing you anything if it's uninsured and you're not taxing it. Also, when your circumstances improve it'd be cheaper to recommission an existing bike than to buy another one.

You can rollover your ncd for a couple of years too if you ring your insurance at renewal time each year

ive never understood the 'im giving it up for financial reasons' thing,
if you have a car, then surely that would be the first thing to go, its
generally more expensive and will leave a relatively cheap to run bike
to get around on.

If you have no car, then a few trips on the bus more than wipes out any
savings getting rid of the bike would have had.

I mean, around here, fairly rural, a day ticket on the bus is close to a fiver,
a few times a week and that's £60 a month.. more than enough to run a bike,
with the added benefit of not having to spend time on the poor mans wagon.

if you are on the dole as someone suggests, then surely having a bike is
a bonus, interviews easier to get to, you can look for jobs outside of whats
accessible by public transport, look for night shifts etc etc

But that's just my way of thinking, id cut back on everything else before the
bike went.

I don't know exactly how the insurance thing works now, but don't do what i did and lose 6yrs NCB on bikes. I'f id thought about it more, id have got an old Honda C90 and just kept it taxed/insured as required to keep my NCB's while i've not been riding.

I know insurers now don't want to see 5years NCB on a C90 if your trying to insure a new R1, but also i don't see how they have got any way around the dodge that is buying an old cheap moped etc, and keeping that insured without even riding it if required. They can't take away your NCB because it was accrued on a moped surely?

[pendulum]

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear you are so down on your luck



NCB lasts two years, if you are going to be away longer than this, keep your paperwork and visit a proper insurance broker when you come back, if it's anything like car & van insurance, a good broker can negotiate a discount equivalent (or thereabouts) to your old NCB.

From post passim, I'm not entirely convinced that Mr Ball could ever really have afforded a bike. It's all borrowed money.

BOROW MOAR. GET 2 BEEBEEQUE!

bike cost £200
insurance £216 (a year TPO) (no NCB, provisional liscence holder)
tax £16

if you remove the cost of the bike, lets face it, selling the 600 would cover the cost of buying a 125, i doubt you'd get insurance on a 400 or more much less than what im already paying.

honestly, if you add in some NCB then its fairly good.

my monthly cost for biking (excluding tax, i mean its £16 lol) including fuel is about £60.

£15 a fortnight in fuel, £30 a month insurance.
