    Bleeding'ell !

    I would do the same no point increasing your risk with someone you don't know. Easy to say in hindsight.

    I'm going to put this on the blog if you don't mind Andy. What mag did you get it from so I can mention them.

    A few years ago in a similar situation my bike insurer at the time was Norwich union and when I sold my bike I was allowed to suspend my insurance without cancelling and restart it when I bought a new bike so I did not waste any of my policy cover. However in those days it was a rid policy so it was the rider not the bike that was insured so you could ride any bike, how things have changed.

    Ian,

    Exactly as it should be and good advice. I also used to be insured for any vehicle but obviously they can't fit my ego onto the APNR database and so they forced insurance companies to cover vehicles only (the index is easier to type in).

    I now have to use a multi-car type policy instead - more complex. In the above case one would remove that registration index from the policy - the other vehicle(s) would keep no-claims bonus earings going.



    cheers,


    Kev
