Think im gonna go back to plan a and take out full insurance with another company.........then "if" :rolleyes K change my mind and decide to store it ill call them up & try get them reducing the policy to fire & theft only.......if they say no then ill cancel it and take the charge.
Shame things have to be done like that.
Bit focced with my own insurers swinton....Youd think as an existing customer theyd try help out but computer says no........ill return the favour by saying no to them every time they pester me about insurance.

The log book doesn't show ownership. It shows who the registered keeper is. If he pays the guy on collection, the bike is his, whether he's posted the bloody logbook or not.
You don't half see some dangerous shit posted online sometimes...
If you cant/wont take out (comprehensive?) insurance for the new bike, its simpler and better all round to hire a van specifying tie down loops fitted. One days hire and you can then take out "laid up" ins cover until you decide to start using on the road. The problem with riding other bikes (NOT OWNED BY YOU) is the level of cover provided-resd the small print!-usually just 3rd party risks. Presumably with a bike worth £3-£4 thou you don't want to be cutting corners(excuse pun!) with level of cover.
Good luck & let us know what you decide.

Precisely. So there's nothing to stop him from giving the guy a deposit, taking the logbook slip with him and going for a test ride to Wales and then completing the sale when he's back in Wales!
If you're going to get really anal about it, then write a pair of contract notes (one for each person) and get the guy to sign them saying that the sale will be concluded at (for example) - 9pm on the 1/5/2014, assuming nothing goes wrong with the bike on a test ride during which noggy will be the sole rider between 1pm-9pm (that would be to basically cover both guys in the event that some kind of offence was committed - say Noggy speeding on the way home), and then ride it back during that test ride period! The bike is still legally the original chaps until that time and yet Noggy has managed to get the bike to Wales during the course of his test ride!
Foc it guys im just gonna get insured...ill go third party so im legal & ill cancel it when im back......if it's cheap enough ill just keep it open for my no claims to increase.
Just gonna enjoy the cool crisp taste of some Tyskie Tm Polish lager & then im firing onto MCN compare
Maybe if i lie about the colour & say it's blue i'll get a price drop to match the performance drop.
