Insurance prior to buying.

[lacmag3]

I own a car but want to buy a motorcycle after owning one many years ago. I will probably but privately, but how can I test ride a bike in advance of owing one yet be legally insured?

First, check your existing motor insurance policy. Many provide 3rd party cover for driving any motor vehicle (which is not owned or hired by you) which your licence covers you to drive. You might already have the necessary cover. (If you've any doubts about whether the cover includes motor cycles, ring the insurer).

If you're not already covered, ring your insurer and ask whether they'll provide a temporary extension to your cover.

If not, take out a one day policy:
