Insurance question

Postpone delivery [1]? Why do you _have_ to have the bike this week? You
can't ride it (legally).

 

But it gives me the incentive to pass, and <stamps foot> because I want it,
now!

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Some insurance companies do a layup cover - purely for fire and theft
when the vehicle is off the road being worked on or stored over the
winter.

It's not an unknown idea, but you'd most likely find it offered by the
classic insurers. The good news is, it costs pennies.

No. A mate used to keep his GPZ900 in his front room before he could afford
a house with a garage.

Normally it has to be garaged, but you can have insurance called "laid
up" insurance, which is basically what you want. Wether they'd give it
for a bike not in a garage, don't know.

Absolute crap.

You can insure it on a laid up basis, which only covers it for theft
and fire.

If it's not going on the road, why would he need a license?

 

So where would she obtain said insurance?

 

Try Carole Nash.

 

I have. No joy.

 

I'm surprised.

I thought they did something for machines during restoration or stored
off the road. Try the other classic brokers (look in Classic Bike and
the like) Footman James etc. Lancaster advertise "Laid Up" cover on
01480 484814.

 

You're not alone there.

Good call - also, this lot:

I've had laidup cover on a Scim, but I was also paying for one to be on
the road at the time. Afair, separate laidup cover was also available.
That was from FJ, iirc.


I'd be surprised if there's not a broker somewhere who can arrange it
for a bike.

Thanks, I'll try those suggestions, the sticking point seems to be when
they ask me what licence I hold.
But I'll be persistent!

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Insanely Sensible"

If you're only looking for layup cover, who's to say it's yours?
You can be the owner, but the keeper, and therefore the person who's
looking for layup cover, could be anyone you know with a full licence.

Strictly speaking, I don't see their problem with giving you layup cover
on a provisional or whatever you have. It's simply another insurance
quote - but these days if you don't fall into one of a number of
specified categories the brokernumpties can't handle it.
You need a more specialised broker, one who's used to handling odd
requests for insurance.

Lancaster are good; Claire is insured with them.

Although we couldn't insure her bike with no license; it
went on my policy. I guess those people doin restorations
etc. still have licenses...

 

I rang Lancaster, and they would insure my bike but only if the main rider
had a full licence, so no joy there.
Footman James, however, would give me storage cover, regardless of what
licence I hold, so persistence paid off.

Try

Sunninghill Insurance. Guy called Andy Mac.

Bickley Insurance - Guy called Jeff Bickley.

 

Ian says...

This bloke called Guy, he goes by a fair few names, doesn't he? He
sounds well dodgy to me.
