Hello - I have 'inherited' a red P-Reg standard VTR1000.

It is curently sitting in my shed, as its owner is in Cairo/Denmark.

Just saying hello :)

Thanks all :)

Update - mate emailed me today, said that I can use the bike if I want. So I went on ebike's site and had a look at their 'Pay as You Go' insurance, where you pay a month at a time and can suspend/resume when you like - perfect for my situation. £25 p/mth.

So very tempted, but weather is putting me off at the moment - will probably wait until the spring.

EEk - that ain't good.

Shame, as the per month policy seemed perfect for me.

Makes me think. A 12 month policy probably better then. Only about £2-300 for a year anyway.

The good thing on ebike, is that they only ask for claims/thefts over the last 3 years and I had two bikes nicked in the first half of 2003.

I think most companies ask for claims/convictions over 5.

Oh well :)

Thanks for that anyway SD/VTRKaz :D

not on the pay as you go scheme though.
Ebike do seem to be giving the best quotes for a lot of people at the mo... I saved about £80 with them.... saved about £150 by insuring the impreza with Ecar too.
Exactly, that's why you went with them in the first place, because they gave the best quote :!:

Remember you are buying direct, doing all the paper work yourself and no broker charges :wink:

I am still very tempted to go with their Pay as you Go scheme.

But, I just did a standard 12 month quote - £187!

Thats TPFT, un garaged - no option for 'double-locked shed with ground anchor'.

Well pleased with that, very very tempted.

Still probably wait until the Spring though - these days I have a bike and a car unlike previously when it was bike only :)

Isn't that the norm with most companies if you only have tpft or tp only :?:

not entirely sure... but with other companies, i've always been able to ride Pete's bikes on my tpft insurance ( MCE, Carole Nash)
That's interesting Kaz, I'm not entirely sure either perhaps some others will add their experiences :!:
