Nac will insure you.

Have you thought of the scenario of you being involved in an accident where someone is hurt - and it may not be your fault - but you have no insurance, and are not legal riding the bike?
Think it through.
If I was involved, I'd make sure you were nailed to the wall.

You guys are all assuming Vinny is planning on riding on the road.

He is entirely legally allowed to ride the bike if he sticks to private land.

And under those circumstances I can see that insurance MIGHT be available.

he did say he was commuting on it, and riding at the weekends.

Unless his Dad owns Manfield or Taupo, WTF is the point of having something like that and NOT being able to legally ride it?

Vinny, I am very pleased you live in the north island, I really am.
