Thanks, I appreciate that.

It's what I'm hear for. I'll try and explain as much as possible, whether it be through a Bikesure policy or not.

Where could one see that list Barry? I ask because an insurers definition of "standard" and my definition legally speaking would need to be exactly the same in order for cover to be guaranteed,wouldn't they?. I imagine that the number of truly standard Lambrettas left in Ireland and the UK would be very small if the likes of a chain guide upgrade is listed as a modification.

You can see our list of modifications by getting a quote on our website. You may find however that not everything you will not find an option for everything you have done on the bike. For these cases, you would need to choose 'other'.

And I would probably be inclined to agree with you, but as stated before, something like a chain wouldn't affect your price anyway but it's just something the insurers need to be aware of.

Thanks

whats the deal with the short turm cover while registering a scoot then ??

Not sure I follow what you mean by 'short term cover'.

What you would do is set up a 12 months insurance but instead of giving us the registration, you give us the chassis/frame/VIN number.

We will then give you a period of time to get the bike registered (usually 30 days) and then as soon as it is registered then you give us the registration number. Once we have the registration, the insurance continues as normal.

I see .. I was under the impression that you took out a poicy of 14 days only .. then upon registering a revised policy with the reg number for a year as per norm ... ill try have a bash at the v55/5 and then best I speak to you on phone

That is normally how it works.

Not with ourselves and as far as I know, that is how most other companies operate.

The policy would only get updated, not set up for another 12 months.

Sorry misread your post - I stand corrected as my experience has been as you describe.
