Anybody who watches Family Guy will understand why I have named my Lifan Beat 125 Tricia Wink

Would you like to buy some magic beans ?

They are amazing things, and are a snip at £50 each.

I only have 100 left, but as I like you, I'll do you a special deal of just £2500 for all of them. Thats half the retail price. You will actually be saving £2500 !

Before you continue taking the piss:

1) I was on a budget, we all start somewhere

2) Insurance was 690 because I have a non motoring conviction, don't ask me why that is justified but I have been getting quotes like £1400 for a shitty scooter

Trust me I have searched and searched but I could not find a scooter with at least 6 months MOT, decent age, and because I have a conviction, insurance prices are just silly, even when I have a full car license and a clean one, too

Any decent bikes that is actually close enough to me?? Also having a NON MOTORING CONVICTION doesn't seem to get through to you guys, getting insurance in this case is DIFFICULT. This is where I have to start off.

I was about to buy a Suzuki scooter, but only had one month MOT left on it, but the insurance was still £690 for that

P. · Red Rocket Joined: 14 Feb 2008 Karma :

Well, I just run a quote on a CG125 and my car for my current status + non motoring conviction, its added £100.

Not that bad,

It is probably cheaper for you to own a bike rather than a scooter is the general thing going on here...peds tend to be stolen a lot more.

GrumpyGuts · World Chat Champion Joined: 20 Jan 2012 Karma :

Age 19, no previous riding experience, recent CBT, bad postcode, non motoring conviction, no NCB. It will be pretty expensive for me. Once I pass my full test, got 1 years NCB, I WILL change my bike. This one is only for commuting. No thrills.

What company did you run this through?

colin1 · Captain Safety Joined: 17 Feb 2005 Karma :

There is a 14 day cooling off period for insurance, so if you bought the insurance within the last 14 days, you can cancel and go with a cheaper insurer.

confused for the car and thebikeinsurer.co.uk for the bike.

Did you buy it new? Your left lever looks bent.

GrumpyGuts · World Chat Champion Joined: 20 Jan 2012 Karma :

Bike insurer gave me a quote of £1,600 Evil or Very Mad

...and no that is just the picture. This bike will be fine for one year

That could be the centre stand or the kick start poking out.

I called 2 other insurance companies and both of them offer quotes a lot more expensive than what I have now, even with motorcycles. Again, 19 years old, non motoring conviction, chinese scooter, bad post code, provisional bike license, it will be expensive for me.

Its the left hand lever...your ~~clutch~~ back brake. Looks remarkably bent in comparison to your front.
