View Full Version : Hi - I'm new!
No minors....
Thats because the instructor was concentrating more on you to notice your riding:riding:
Just kidding. Congrats on the test, I work in Edinburgh and have noticed a few on here near enough. I am pretty new here too so just finding my bearings.
LOL you may have been right! Whatever it was I'm thankful I passed! :)
Maybe we can arrange a wee ride out sometime, be nice to get to know new peeps. :)
Hi and congrats on passing, and also your choice of bike :)
I'm new as well and looking forward to sv ownership too!
cheerios... I'm really chuffed with my bike.
Managed to get it insured today, so hopefully tax tomorrow then some sunshine to play!

how much is your insurance? mines £800 fully comp for the year and im 18 with 1 years ncb
£368 only third party.
17 y/o, male, 1 years NCB
:(
Mine was £155 3rd party fire and theft, I'm 25 and have had a car license since 2003.
It was about £250 fully comp. Was going to go fully comp, but they'd probably write it off for a broken fairing... :(
what are you're excesses (sp) like on the policies?

I decided to go fully comp on both the last bike and this one.
I thought about 3rd party but I was unlucky enough to be in a hit and run last year and the driver is still contesting it and denying that they were there, even though I have witnesses.
The bonus of the fully comp is that I have been able to replace the bike quicker.
My insurance has gone up and at the moment I have lost my no claims but even with a claim pending my insurance was £330FC with £1000 helmet and leather cover, any bike and courtesy bike thrown in. (£150 excess)
Oh and I'm 32:cool:
I wanted to go fully comp, just don't have the cash flow for it at the moment, with me being a student and all... It's rather frustrating. Fully comp would have given me more peace of mind. I have the "ride any bike" thing, but i opted out of the helmet and leathers, european cover and the personal injury stuff, all due to cost. :( I really am on a budget

you think you've got it bad? my mum had to pay for my insurance and im paying her back monthly! i hate being a broke student, should of not gone college and gone into full time work.
full time work isn't much better especially just now - I did that straight out of school and I'm paying for it now by being an older student! With family to support etc.
