Are you still insured on it? I would imagine most people's policies require insurance on the bike before they're able to ride it.

i think this is the case, to be insured 3rd party on another vehicle that is not your own must already be insured by the owner, so alpha i think unless it is still insured, no chance im afraid

flog it on eBay, job jobbed.

Depends on policy wording.

What you want is a number plate of a legit bike..

[thepuma]

For someone to ride your bike on their 'riding other bikes' clause, the bike in question MUST be insured in its own right by the owner.

I'd just hire a van for an hour presuming you have a driving license, won't cost that much.

Oh that might raise a problem there then

Not sure on this so i may be wrong, but wouldn't the fact its un-insured mean its SORN'd and therefore un-taxed/un-rideable, to be all official n shit

[P.addy]

Yup, I had a taxed mot'd uninsured bike though.. nothing was said for 3 months.

I'd just whack a plate of a legit bike on there and get it moved, no harm as long as you don't get fucked for speeding again.

No driving license

Housemate has a small work van, could likely fit it in if I take it apart somewhat, ballache though

Didn't realise that about the riding other bikes thing, don't really get why that's the case but ok

WALL OF TEXT

I'd always encourage people to read their certificate of insurance and policy document carefully.

The certificate and policy mean what they say, and only what they say, no matter how hard you or Dibble - or even your own insurer, again, see Pryor - believe or assert otherwise.

I'm currently insured with Hastings Direct. Here's the their motorcycle policy document.

I'll cut to the chase:

[J4mes]

I've NEVER had a requirement for the vehicle to be insured by it's owner/registered keeper on any of the policies that I have had the "drive other vehicles" allowance on.

Thinking out loud for a moment..........

Say the insurance on my brothers Ninja runs out but it is still taxed for 6 months. He 'permits' me to 'borrow' his bike and I ride it with TPO cover via my own Hastings direct policy on my RVF word for word the same as Borg has quoted.

Fast forard a couple of months and the invitation to pay the CIE bribe lands on my brothers doormat. But the bike is 'insured' TPO by way of my Hastings policy while I 'borrow' it, but the stupid MIB database and DVLA database don't know this and sends out the template invitation to pay a bribe.

Do you think the above would stand up in court should he refuse to pay the CIE bribe and the DVLA take it that far? The insurance cover would meet the minimum third party requirement stipulated in the Road Traffic Act, so the bike would be 'insured' to meet the legal requirement as a simpleton such as I understands it and I can legally ride it on the road. But the ever expanding database the filth, insurance parasites and Black Hole of Swansea put ever more faith in would have no way of knowing?

Probably depends on the insurer, not like there's actual legislation about if so there'd be a source

Is SORN'd
Problem is probably as Rogerborg says, if it's SORN'd you can't ride it on 'other bikes' policy as it's declared off the road, otherwise it would have to be insured anyway.

Interesting thing though, don't know what would happen if you were actually pulled driving a SORN'd vehicle on 'other bikes' policy
