    Carying a pillion without pillion insurance cover.

    Its not a case of it increases if you carry a passenger, that would be the standard rate, it does in some cases give a discount if you don't carry a passenger, but only if you specifically state that you won't. I guess the reason for this is that in the event of any accident, the personal injury claim would be less. But its not the case that you are penalised for carrying a passenger.

    not law but a built in get out of payng a claim clause. Same as if your bike got stolen the night you stayed at a friends but told the insurance you keep the bike at home on a night.

    robdogs and liars.

    A garage clause only applies if you are within 500 metres of youe home address. So if you are staying at a friends, as long as they don't live with 500 metres of your garage, you can leave it in the middle of the road with a hi-viz jacket on if you so wish.

    Great to see such an active and positive involvement here from 'The Industry'. Should be applauded.....

    I note you offer Modern, Modern Classic and Classic Classic policies............would you consider a policy for one modern bike and two or three classic bikes as a multi-bike option? The modern bike isnt that modern though......1998 ST1100 Pan Euro...........

    I am currently with CN until mid August and have just had a devils own job adding the XS400 to my Pan policy - the underwriters were going to reject it!!!!!!

    Look forward to hearing from you when convenient.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    We can indeed offer modern and classic multi bikes and we could add all your bikes to one policy. We definitely would not reject the XS400!!

    If you PM a contact number, I can give you a call?

    Thanks

    BSA WingedWheel Autocycle - do i need insurance to cycle?

    in Insurance

    Posted

    So the local Rotory Club Marafun is this weekend coming, and there as usual will be a car and motorcycle rally.

    never had time to get any of our old bikes on the road this year - :'( however my old man got his BSA Winged Wheel Back from Grampian Transport Museam.

    My question is, when opering it as a push bike, am i still required to insure it?

    Thanks!

    and i was planning taking the SV but apparently it only likes the one cyclinder. again.

    Morning,

    Does it have a reg plate? If yes, it will need to be insured.

    Hi Lee,

    Would you guys insure my bike? (if i keep it that is) its got a FEW some extras on it and im thinking of having a one off frame build for it too. would that effect my policy if i took one out with Bikesure?

    there is a link to my bike in my signature

    Many thanks

    Hi,

    I've had a look at the bike.......firstly VERY nice! Secondly, yes we can insure you and the frame would not be an issue. If you want to PM me a contact, I can give you a call.

    Cheers

    Good Morning,

    Firstly, yes we do offer multi-bike policies, in fact multi bike policies are an area of insurance that is working very well so the rates have gone against the trend and come down. We offer modern multi, classic multi and modern classic multi. With regard to classic multi's they can come with recovery, both UK and European or just UK. We also have a classic multi scheme with 0 excess. spare parts are also covered for upto £500 worth of theft cover in the garage.

    We can insure on frame numbers, and in some cases there is no time limit that the bike needs to be registered in. Agreed Value is also offered on both classic and modern schemes, and in some cases is automatically agreed on classics of a value of £2500 and under.

    We also have specialist modified schemes as well, this includes modified classics.

    Hope this answers everything, any further questions, give me a shout.

    Cheers

    I've already checked the cable and arm. It's working as intended :D The sump was left dry for a bit so i suspect the plates have been bound on. I'd rather just swap them over. It's actually an added saftey measure atm since i know if anyone tries to steal it and drive it away they won't get it moving. It'll just stall as soon as your drop it into gear. There was a fear the big end would be ceased, but the starter motor was able to push the engine without a problem one we got some oil in her. We gave the engine a few turns over, then left it for a few mins before doing it again. The guy helping me thought this an unneeded step but a siezed big eng would have been disasterous.

    I've spent a bit of time looking it over while it was ticking over.

    The brakes are fine. No deep rust on the front disk, and the pads have some left on them.

    The rear drum is free and working, I've not been able to test either under powerd movement up the garden, But pushing in neutral both work.

    The handle bars appear to have a very slight missalignment to them. The throttle side is closer to the rider than the clutch side. I suspect this was done in the drop as the bars appear to be pretty thin mild steel. There is also an end cap missing from the clutch side hand grip.

    Suspension is fine, No rust, no leaks. the springs are intact and clear of any problem as well.

    The worst rust is on the rear cissy bar, and luggage cage. This looks to be a cheaper chrome job than the rest of the machine, I'm not even sure if it's a factory fit or aftermarket. The rust here while not dangerous is bad enough to be detrimental to the bike even if scrubbed back. I have 2 options. Take the one thats on it off and have it powder coated, or buy a new one. I suspect it'll be cheaper to get a new one.

    I also need to pick up a feeler guage and do the tappets as she sounds a little pinky. Might just be the engine but i think a general service will help. Might be that the valve springs have been sat compressed and i have soft springs. Either way thats not too hard a job on such a small engine, I used to service honda GX160 engines almost daily when we raced karts, These little Vtwins are a little more complicated but not rocket science. Provided I pay attention do i don't drop a valve it should all be good :D

    I'm going to drag it out tomorrow and get some pictures up, I'm like a child with a toy ATM. My wife has been laughing at me for been sat in front of the pc in a helmet and gloves...... LOL

    Hi,

    After a delay in getting on, I will now be on here almost every day to see if I can help any members, if you want me to give a call about the insurance, feel free to PM me details as we offer discounted rates for forum members.

    Cheers

    I went out today and got myself a lid.

    Ended up with a caberg justissimo. It's new had the Gold stamp, and more importantly was only £80. I have a silly sized head apparently. XS is not common, and this lid had been sat a fair amount of time in the back of the shop untouched.

    I also picked up some gloves and already own a leather biker jacket. I'll swap the jacket for a kevlar one when i have a CBT and start to get ready to go on the road. For the minute the basic protection is in place for me. And I can progress to actually working on the bike.

    I also turned the bike over today. It's still on the wrong oil, But the clutch is still siezed. So I just let in run for 30 mins, It's not had a decent length tick over for a long time. It fiered up second time, came back off the choke after about 3 mins of running. Once off the choke it was reving to full with no sputtering and no apparent loss of power through the range (audable only). Once i get these parts on order (thursday) and have a tinker with the internals I think I'll have to get myself booked in for a CBT!

    Beef I'll add my location later, For the minute the bike is un-insured and sat locked in a back garden. I don't want to advertise a location until I have a gound anchor, and Insurance in place :D
