I've never been into bikes so have no idea where to start with this.
Number one son who is 19 wants to start riding a bike. He has found a fairly reasonably priced 50cc Aprilla to get him going but is struggling to find insurance. In a nutshell this is because he has three convictions - driving without a license, driving without insurance and failure to report an accident all from the same incident. It was an unusual and the courts treated him exceedingly lightly, ie only a very small fine, but insurance companies rightly do not view his position terribly kindly!
Are there any insurers who specialise in clients with *issues* or is he just going to have to bear the ridiculous cost if he wants to get on the road? If he passes his CBT (or whatever it is) before getting a bike, would that make any difference?
