    £30 is nothing compared to leaving it insured and being liable for a claim

    Why would I be liable for a claim? I don't own the bike and won't be riding it. I have insurance to cover me IF I were to ride this bike, which I won't be ..

    read post #6, if you can't read the posts properly, means you didn't read the T+C's well either. If your not happy with the £30, lodge a complaint and see how far it goes.

    Reading these threads makes me think the ones with a brain (usually not the OP) are just talking to brick walls.
  • Nobody has adequately explained why I would be liable if I am not going to be riding the bike on the policy that I purchased.

    Is there some clause that says if the new owner doesn't have insurance then the 3rd party can somehow claim on my policy? I have not seen this written anywhere. The policy I have is only valid for ME riding it, so I don't see how insurance companies can suddenly deem that is a valid policy for somoeone else when they are so quick so claim policies are invalid.
