Ok thats odd.

Footman James also do a laid up insurance, so if your not using the bike (repair / rebuild etc) it'll still be insurned.

Best to speak to them

Its not odd, its the law. Its to stop NCB's being earned on a bike that is dumped down your garden.

I have had multi bikes without MOT on my insurance... 8-)

I don't see what MOT has to do with insurers...what do they do in other places without a MOT - like Isle of Man or Ireland?

Yep same here.

I had laid up insurance on a couple of projects I was rebuilding just incase some pikey scum decided to steal them (insured for fire and theft just not to drive) (had to be garaged)

Strange insurance company!

Anyways.. if you get stuck with it give us a shout, i'll do my best to point you in the right direction

What law is this?

I don't see it being compulsory to ride an insured motorcycle on the road.
