Bike usually has to be insured by someone else and registered to someone else.

I used to ride a TZR on the motorway before I derestricted it.

I recall one occasion where two of us were trundling along the M25, flat out at about 70mph, laying on the tank, feet on the pillion pegs. We were overtaken by a plod car full of rozzers laughing their merry arses off.

done it about 15 years ago went up by train to Sheffield, and the guy selling the bike picked me up and ran me to his house in Thercroft (or something like that, little place about 5 miles away), then I rode the bike all the way back to Tandridge in Surrey (just over 200 miles), and all that for a TS100....

Cheers Mark.

Just to make you aware, I am insured through Carole Nash and therefore I get free third party cover on other bikes BUT they have to be OVER 350cc?!?! No idea why, but that's what it says.
