I've got a trials bike that someone has Q plated.....being too lazy / tight to get a dating letter from a manufacturer before registering with the DVLA.

I've tried to add it my my Carole Nash multi bike policy but they won't insure it for theft....only TP use.

Has anyone got a Q plate bike that can recommend an insurer for TPFT so I don't have to spend my entire life in a telephonic abyss ringing round insurers.

Thanks

Depends how old the bike is as to whether or not the owner was lazy. Back in the day when everyone bought a bike unregistered to avoid the VAT (a loophole which was eventually closed I think) then registered it a bit later, the Q plate was the standard issue.

One of the several penny-pinching trials rider attitudes which resulted in the loss of a body of bikes to keep road trials viable.

The problem for me is, once a Q always a Q so I can't change the reg.

I just want to be able to insure it TPFT.
