No it doesn't, you don't need any paperwork to insure a bike.

It would allow you to tax it though.

 

Ah okay - I didn't know that.

So Champ is right then. Surprise.

 

You know the drill, mate. Take precautionary and then required
anti-inflammatories and painkillers as you think fit. Keep comfy and
don't do too much, 'cos it will surely hurt in 48 hours if it doesn't
now. GWS.

Inform your InsCo, then attack the InsCo of the old gimmer directly -
this will ensure your NCB is untouched - and they will likely roll
over and pay your excess and kit damage more or less immediately.

All the best, Shorty.

PS. Congrats on the class dismount ;-)

 

No, because whilst I may be stupid about some things, I don't feel that I've
quite achieved that standard.

And it would require me kill filling someone.

 

What he said!

 

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

Or describing to his wife how bikes are a menace on the road.

"Now take him, Muriel, he's an absolute bloody danger to himself and
everybody else around him."

"Ermm.. George."

<crash bang wallop>

"Oh, blast it!"

I think that there's unlikely to be anything untowards with a bike that
recent.

Buy privately, you'll get to meet the vendor and get a feeling about
him/her to see if they've looked after the bike.

 

I'll remember to count the wheels in future.

If you could fit 2 kids on the back I would.

 

So what if it's written off? 206 old geezer's insurance company will
buy you a new one or give you market value for it which will be
sufficient to buy a sh 600 or 750. You won't lose any NCB either
because it wasn't your fault.

Stop worrying. It'll take time but you'll keep your GSXR.

You need to go to India for inspiration.

Bloke on bike with missus (side-saddle) on pillion and two kids on the
petrol tank is absolutely standard.

 

I always rememebr it as the smallest kid sat on the mother's knee, at
least in Delhi.

That's passenger number 5.

 

You can, but it will depend on how lively your insurance company are. I was
rear-ended in the car in April, the accident happened late Thursday
afternoon, and a hire car [1] delivered Saturday morning. That was through
my own insurers and relatively hassle free. I was surprised/impressed

[1] They matched the type of car I was driving with the hire car provided,
so the fact that my SOBMW was classed as an 'executive saloon' meant I was
leant a brand new Rover 75 as a replacement - and I got to keep it for over
a month. The hire costs came to over £1500 which is only slightly less than
my car was worth in the first place.

 

This is spot on, imo.

 

IME if you don't press for due care asap, by the time the no insurance is
discovered / proven, plod won't be arsed to pursue it.

Pah. 5 up for a pub crawl on the Isle of Man on a ZX10[1] in 1990.
Me (pilot) sat on the tank. Next person on rider's seat, doing
gearchanges. 2 on the pillion seat, one on the rack. I had to shout
the gear changes to the gearbox operative.


[1] not a ZX10R

 

That sounds like a laugh.

How did you balance the thing and get it to go round corners?

 

Would love a photo of that.

Who put their feet down when you came to a stop?

 

I so wish I had one, but we were all on the bike.

Everyone!

 

It was. As you can imagine, we got a big round of applause when we
rolled up outside a pub.

Pulling away was a little tricky, but once on the move it was
surprisingly easy to ride.
