Stop riding it tbh. Not being funny, but you will end up in a load of trouble if you get caught not to mention the possible costs if you hit something expensive.

Research on google for them. It may be known under another name here in the UK.

You do realise that if the Police catch you riding without insurance then they can now confiscate the bike and destroy it?

i have used them for my sons and they was very very good, cheap for youngsters as then specialize in the younger people and 125s/scooters.

None, I have 3 125's though, all 1970's models, all hondas, i just have a thing for restoring them, can be done while watching tv!

Ive other bikes/projects as well, keep meaning to complete my profile page with pics ... i like messing with engines, have also been a F3 mechanic and can sometimes be found wrestling with a hovercraft

Don't ride? Rolling Eyes Unless it's off road it isn't worth the risk, both to you and to anyone else you may encounter. And you will get the likes of me giving you hassle on the forum!

Some of the links already given should help, or if you use search there is an insurance spreadhseet somewhere on here that gives you loads of companies and what they specialise in. You're just going to have to keep ringing.

Or if they had a bad day and decide they don't like the look of you Smile.

Personally I think people get way to het-up about a little bit of paper which can be fairly meaningless.

I am insured, including riding other vehicles I don't own these days, so am not naughty myself, personally.

However do be aware of the risks you face if you do do it.

Best bet probably is to do the normal thing and just to call all the insurance companies you can find details for.
