Not seen a policy saying that any other bike you ride must be insured (although some may well)


I've never seen a policy that didn't.

Maybe you should look at some more policies AND read the schedule and small print ?

Mine doesn't, just says the bike can't be in my name, mentions no where it must be insured elsewhere.

My insurance just says

"You are insured to ride any other bike not belonging to you."

It doesnt say anything, anywhere, about that bike needing to be insured by someone else; Though I often here people say that. AFAICS, if its not in the policy, it isnt true. Check yours wave.

Same with the policy that I had covering other bikes. I searched through it and there was no mention of the other bike having to be insured by the owner etc.

Likewise with my policy, I phoned up my insurance company and it doesn't need to be insured by the owner although I wouldn't be able to get off the bike (on a public highway), as it would be insured.

Instead of everyone arguing over wtf it says in their policies, why can't Wave just look at his? Rolling Eyes

Glad your OK Wave, hope you get this worry over soon.
For my tuppence worth, I'd avoid using in any formal communication the words: came out of nowhere. It could be construed as poor observation on you part. Don't leave yourself open to this.




Good Luck fella.

Andy Wink

so what is he meant to say then? he saw the taxi from a mile away but decided to drive into the side of it?

ps. my last 2 insurance policy's (with different companies) said i could ride any bike and have TPO on it

was driving along when he saw the taxi pull out. the taxi was too close and it was unavoidable that wave would hit him. that should do.

good luck mate

Fight it mate. Same thing happened to me in November 2004. A dude pulled right out infront of me and i went flying over the bonnet of his car. He has been totally blaming liability on me right up untill 6 weeks ago when he finally accepted full liability. What a turn around. I now have £6,000 coming to me anyday now.

P.S. How much does the new R6 cost? Razz

I've checked this on my policy before (2 phone calls to the insurance company). My company does not require the vehicle to be insured, only that it cannot be in my name.

Not many people will put a vehicle in their name for someone else (liablity etc)

Wave, sorry to here about the mishap. The law dictates that you have the same rights insured or uninsured. If it was the cabbie's fault, he (his insurance) must pay out accordingly. Were you issued with a producer at the time? If not, then it probably won't go any further.

You may then ring his insurance company and proceed with making a claim (they will probably contact you anyway, wanting payment from you). Simply tell them your version of things, mention you have witnesses, let nature take its course. If things happened as you said they did, expect a prompt payment (no insurance company wants to hang around while you find more things to claim for).

Good Luck mate.

cabbies are none for this SH*te as i know a couple of m8s same thing happened to and a taxi hit me side on at taxi rank, nothing i could clam for as 10 FAT sweaty greezy Bas*ards would have backed him up. I was filtering about 20mph when he pulled out infront of a tuck and stright into my side Tbone right into my leg, lucky no broke but bloody soar, guy asked me if i was all right with a big grin on his face.
