no insurance

[Itchy]

If you don't ride it on the road (or at all) and keep it locked in a back yard , its OK not to have insurance isn't it? , as I recall some sort of BS law which was proposed which stated something along the lines of all vehicles UNSORN'D must be insured and can't remember what happened to that law.

I've don't really need the bike for a week or two and may delay getting new insurance till then and I'm wondering about the legal technicalities of this , still plenty of MOT and tax on it though.

Any suggestions

Thanks.

I have had an uninsured bandit sat on my drive for 6 months now. It still has tax and MOT. I've not had any form of bother.

If you're confident about the security of the bike, I don't think there'll be much of an issue.

Guess you have to think if you an afford to have it nicked?

I got the SV as my new shiny shiny toy!

Bandit also has a fucked sump so don't want to risk riding it until it's fixed.

Yes it's fine, as long as you are willing to risk it being uninsured and stolen/go up in smoke.

I had an unisured yamaha PW50 taken from my garage, the garage has a £600 uber door and a very expensive garage door, ..they took the bike out of the window


claimed of the house insurance for it.

If this new law is brought in I'm going to have to be illegal until I can sell all my offroad vehicles as I can't afford to insure them.

Quotes for the Allegro are around £1300
the KLR will be about the same as the GPZ also (£700)...

I wonder if they brought it in, if the item bike car whatever is declared under house insurance does it count?

It would not count because it would be third party insurance - someone might fall over and graze their hand while stealing it .

Hi,

You are fine at the moment a bike off the road does not required insurance.

There are proposals to make introduce legistation around this area but its not been done yet.

You are required to SORN it if it is not taxed now but has been taxed since Jan 1998.

Regards

I don't understand why they'd bring in such a law The only reason to insure it if you're not going to be riding it on the road is against theft. I would think thats up to the owner, (more nannying??)

Then again, there is the small matter of insurance tax. Could this be another gov. initiative to raise tax revenues??
