But as more people decide they don't want to take the risk by owning spiffy nice new bikes, and more people find they simply can't afford the premiums, so the manufacturers and insurers will lose out eventually, surely? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I'm not trained in pursuit either but I could knock a baklaffer off his scooter even if i were driving a 1.2 fiat panda.
No problem whatsoever. Who fucking cares if they get hurt? It's precisely the widely known about 'no pursuit'
policy that makes bikes/scoots the vehicle of choice for them.
They are laughing at you lot and all your form filling. It used to be a Police force. Most of the coppers I see
these days look about 15 and like they couldn't catch a cold. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

This is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you bother trying to do the right thing. I wouldn't screw someone by cloning plates maybe a police commissioner, MP, CPS chief or bleeding heart judge but... disposable bike and Johnny Abroadlander plates? In that London, pretty much zero chance of being tugged, ever.
Don't do it, of course, perverting the course of justice anorl.
Makes you wonder though. Really does. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

WR, you forgot to include option 5&6 though:
5, clone another same model legitimate bike that you think the owner of is law abiding and thus would have insurance on.
6, not insure and ride with a false plate randomly, or just go full bikelife and not fit a number plate and while your at it don't wear a helmet as they won't chase you then etc.
Oh an off topic, but I always love uncle Itchy's economic and financial lessons. But what is the realistic alternative to 0.25% interest rates, in the name of life support/stimulating the markets and growing the economy?
Should the interest rate have gone to 6% and effectively caused the country to declare bankruptcy like the Greek economy did?
Is it best to try the gently approach to gradually stimulate business and spending in a still recovering fragile economy, or would a short sharp shock of everyone going broke and having mortgages repossessed etc, have done more to help the economy in the long term to recover?
I agree that un realistic and overstretched investments, loans and borrowing is a bad thing, but just relating it to the UK housing market as one little part of it, would we be better off with lots of repossessions and even more people turned down for mortgage applications?
The house building industry would not have recovered to its current level, so more people still would be out of work and claiming benefits? |

Probably complicates matters with theft claims but I've never had to prove my NCD, really wish I had made up some now
What about buying a Yamaha something 50cc 'ped, insuring it then swapping the plate onto a big bike |

Just buy a CG125 frame with V5 and plate. Insure it TPO (then SORN). At least you'll still be getting no claims...... ____________________ My Flickr |

Coppers do, policy makers dont.
It's not the paperwork, more the fact the copper himself (and his radio operator) will get nicked for their efforts if the result isn't headline pleasing. See the byklifer that potatoed himself in hackney with a rucksack full of weed and three phones constantly ringing for an example. Diane Abbott was the first in the queue.
Back a few years ago it was amazing how many gilera runners had The ability to reverse at 30mph into a panda, with a nod, wink and thank you m'lud. Didn't have The problems we are seeing now.
The explosion in these shitheads is a direct result of police policy being dictated by public opinion. Blame snowflake, then start protesting in support of popo if you want this to change.
They can waffle on about tactical this, phased that, the reality is the moons of Jupiter have to be aligned to have the chopper up, the tpac drivers there, all in time to see pedboi take the piss to the degree needed to justify the off before disappearing. |
