Bike NCB expiry

Being bikeless at the moment, does anyone know if there is a general
period for which bike NCB is retained without actually having a bike, or
should I go out and get some old 100/125 to insure and keep my bonus
going as I don't think I'd fancy anything I could afford to insure if I
had to start again in 6 months time?

Also, can we introduce a newgroup stat for longest sentence?

 

Normally 2 years, but best check with a broker/insco.

 

'k.

 

I lost my 9 years NCB whilst being bikeless (well not less, just none
on the road) after two years but for an old git like me it seems to
make little difference, especially on the smaller low value
stuff.

Comp on the CB Two Fifty with the 9 years NCB would have been = £123,
without the NCB, £117.

I got a fresh quote yesterday on the YP250 (Comp) and that was £98 and
was also with no NCB (2nd bike start again etc).

As I've given up trying to get daughter on the YP250 on the CIHAGM
deal I've stuck it on a multi bike with the CB for now (£142 Comp). I
might take it off MB later and insure it on it's own with her as a
named rider (£414 TP only).

p.s. Comp is generally only a few quid more for me in most cases.

It was at renewal time I innocently enquired if there was a policy for
bikes being rebuilt / restored (as that's what I was doing to the RT
at the time). They then said if the bike hadn't got an MOT it wasn't
'road legal' so they couldn't insure it anyway?

I explained I couldn't easily get an MOT (as it was spread across the
garage and garden at the time) but just wanted to continue insuring it
against say theft? (Thinking there must be such a policy for very
valuable bikes whilst being restored etc)?

But apparently not from them, so I didn't renew and two years later
I'm 9 years NCB down (but better off in cash terms). ;-)

It depends upon your insurer. Mine was maintained for 3 yrs when I went
to Canada.

 

I'd give the **** more than two years for that.

 

can you guarantee full stops and Capital letters across the groups
posted text

are you volunteering to count words and letters

without any way to figure out just what a sentence is it becomes
difficult to count

..

so how many sentences was that?
