From: cat on 21 Jul 2010 09:25 If someone's licence hypothetically went away for a bit, but was *probably* going to come back within a few months unscathed. What sort of place would they store their bike? It's probably going to be a bit sticky with insurers for unlicenced people to have bikes on the street.

If the existing policy is going to run for the duration of the suspended licence then I'd probably do nothing, just leave the bike where it usually resides. The problem comes should the policyholder need to renew the insurance whilst suspended as you have to answer a bunch of questions. I'm pretty sure those here that have had judicial suspensions have followed the above method, just fessing up to the crime once renewal time arrived. -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS

The insurance covers the INSURED, a drivers licence should only be relevant if the bike is being ridden when whatever causes the claim happens. OTOH you should read the wording of the policy, there are magic words to consider:- OWNER, THE INSURED, VEHICLE and RIDER. The INSURED is not necessarily the legal OWNER or the person allowed to ride the VEHICLE. If the policy specifies that the OWNER or THE INSURED must hold a current licence you could have a problem. When all else fails - read the instructions. Probably a good idea to have any bike that is not being used locked away under cover anyway, it will not rot so fast and will be less likely to be nicked or damaged. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 78 Honda 400/4 in black 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)
