Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

[VS 5.0]

Buy the bike and wait till you can legally ride it before insuring for you.

You can't ride it yet so insurance doesn't need to cover you yet.

Unless it gets stolen, damaged by fire etc etc.

I didn't say don't insure it...

Can you rego it in your dad's name till off p's?

 

[SpaceYam]

I thought of that too, but from what little information I can find we'll have to pay stamp duty to transfer rego to me. I've been meaning to clarify this with the RMS though.

Might be the price you pay for the bike you want.

Just put a low selling price on the rego papers when you transfer ownership.

If your dad says its a gift to you from him they waive the stamp duty and transfer fees etc. Not to sure if that applies in NSW but worth checking out. (Does apply in QLD)

Well, the plan was to buy it (assuming I can get finance) and then let my dad ride it. But they won't insure it for my dad because it will be registered in my name, and the policy-holder has to be the registered owner. They won't insure me because my licence doesn't let me ride it. So I can't get insurance at all.

If I could get finance, we were going to buy it and stick it in the garage until my licence is sorted, but anyway... Finance is the next issue so we'll see what happens. I'm wanting to go have a look at a couple of LAMS versions of non-LAMS bikes in the meantime to see if I can find anything that'll suit me better.

I wouldn't go with a lams bike if your just about to get an unrestrectied licence.

Lams bikes are **** compared to having an unrestricted bike and you pay literally the same $ except they have stuff all resale value because why pay 9k for a restricted 600 when you can get a 1000 for 10k... I would just wait if I was you man don't do something you will regret.

I'm not going to buy a LAMS bike, but I want to try out LAMS versions of bikes that I can ride when I've got my full licence. That way at least I know what seating positions and such are like.

I'd go to a few bike shops and test ride a couple. Also, dont look for a bike to buy until you're ready to buy, it just leads to dissapointment cause you'll be forever finding ones perfect for what you're after.

Buying a bike for me was an absolute nightmare. In the end I decieded to just screw it and buy one when Im off my P's.

Im 6 foot 5. My brother is a little shorter and I steal his from time to time. He is on his L's and rides a V Star and even that, which is a fairly large legal bike, my knees are up around my neck.

Well fortunately I don't actually need to buy one straight away as I've been using my dad's, which is learner approved.

I just dislike how things work, that's all
