Yer your right and you can have soooooo much more fun on two wheels (well one most of the time) I sold my Integra type-r and bought a lovely 1990 civic for the missus and then a bike for me and even when its raining I still think that was the best think to do.

I agree with you on that front totally. when i cell the beast im gona either get a R6 or kwak ZX6RR or somet but i just done an insurance quote from bennets as a quarm on the kwak 1 yr no claims garaged with hypathetical cat 1 alarm 1500 quid ahhhhhhhh they can fook rite off cant believe how deer that is i tell ya.

Also how long have you had your licence? I'm up to my eyeballs in speeding fines and even driving (a car) without a licence (oops), but because I have had my licence for 5 years (since I was 17) I only pay £600 FC (without no claims) with European cover and unlimited mileage. Thats with Express Insurance and its only £200 more for a 636.

thats still quite expensive! i've been rideing 3 years (owned my licence for 2 years) and 3NCB

im 19 and pay 500 a year now with a ZXR750, Honda CRM250 and a Maico GMstar 250 all on that policy

all TPFT in a medium to high risk area, so im quite happy with that!

hypatheticly Iv had my bike licence for a year then. but iv actually got 5 years no claims on my car licence(by then will be 6), i dont know why that aint took into account cos i have road experience i think that counts for somethin bein able to read the road. the quote was based on a kwak ZX6RR 05 reg. at £3500. with 2000 miles per yr. no points never had a driving offence. so i think 1500 is way over the top.

i had 2 years riding experiance when i went to get car insrance but they wouldent take them eaither, bit gay tbh

Yer mines really expensive because I have,

SP30 - £200 fine - 14 day ban (I was clocked at 134.2mph on a ZX10)
SP30* - £60 - no points
LC10* - £0 - no points
IN10* - £180 - 6 points

The ones marked with a * were all together when I got pulled for speeding in a car, unfortunately I don't have a licence to drive cars (LC10 driving without a licence), I argued that it was impossible for me to have insurance to drive the car (IN10 driving without insurance) because no one would insure me without a licence, the police officer was not impressed.

I feel I should explain that I am not normally irresponsible enough to drive without a licence and insurance, it was just that my girlfriend at the time had just nearly fallen asleep at the wheel so I decided it would be safer if I drove, and I can drive cars I have been racing them since I was 14, and I did pass my test once, I just forgot to send my certificate away with in the 2 year time limit so it expired.

But as you can see my licence is dirtier than a homeless hooker so I pay through the nose for insurance.

Well im not gona say i feel for you there cos it costs me a bomb to be legal in the car each yr £200 car tax £690 insurance with 5yrs no claims £330 Service an soon Brakes £60 front an rear i need 2 new tires on the back £120 so thats 1400 quid this yr to stay legeal dam thats way more than i thought oh an thats not including the £60 i already spent on a tire an the MOT thats due september.

I do not expect sympathy, I was a fool and I deserved everything I got.

What you say is true cars cost so much to run, the only time I could afford it was when I actually had a licence and worked in parts dept in a Peugeot main dealer. That was when I had my Integra and even though it wasn't a Honda I could get cheap parts and all the labour was paid for in pints.

Thats what I love about bikes is you don't need rams ect to work on them. I mean I am very confident working on cars and bikes but I don't have anywhere I can get a car up in the air.

i hate with a passion trying to work on cars, trying to drop gearbox's ect in near on impossible without a ramp

Bikes are 10x better can get around them in instantly and everything's more basic!

nice pics of cars !! or am i in the insurance thread?

Yer and if it all goes wrong and it falls on you at least your not dead!!!

Thats cos cars are much more complex in there engineering. i think i now like bikes more an wana learn about the mechanics i think,

I wouldnt say you deserved what you got mucka, you dont strike me as a serial no licence driver they are the ones i have no time for i get em by me drivin old nail cars an instead of car tax they have a beer mat in the windscreen.

ermmm yea it just sort of headed into insurance an then back out again!!!

Yer you're right I've not done it before or since and I am probably a better driver than most people with a licence, judging by what I see on the roads most days!

The problem wit the whole changing subject is I have a very short attention span, I blame it on the brain damage from my accident in 2002.
