Hubby has just passed his moped basic training at the ripe age of 38 and after nearly a year of me driving him to work at half past the crack of dawn

 

We are off to buy a moped at the weekend

 

Does anyone know if you get insurance for moped from the main insurance companies or if its better to use a motorcycle specialist company? I have phoned a couple of the big insurers but without bike details they wont quote or even confirm if they insure mopeds

 

Hubby very excited by it all - its a very big deal, I never thought I would see the day, for some reason he just cannot 'get' driving and has never passed his driving test so to get him out on the road is a major acheivement and will mean more freedom for him and mean that I am not tied to his shift patterns

Congratulations

 

The world is your oyster...provided you have sufficient waterproofs to brave the winter and no Tasha a bale of easybed will not balance on the back of a moped safely

 

Sorry no idea re the insurance side, never had one so never found out

Chookiehubbie was insured through this company when he had his scooter.

Can't tell you what they'd be like if you claimed, because he never had to make a claim.

Thank you for that, we have put in details of one of the mopeds hubby is interested in and the quote is very reasonable

Congratulations to your OH - freedom for you both!

Congratulations to your hubby - mine passed his motorbike test last year at 45 - he's completely obsessed now

Well done Mr Wing

 

Not sure about insurance though

[Cooks]

Well Done Mr Redwing I used to have a moped years ago when you didn't need special training to have one you just needed a provisional license and i got my insurance through the motorcycle shop I think.

Great tip about the aterproof I had a set and really didn't care what i looked like in them. they were for keeping me dry not to look good

Top box on back was a must for me and spend a bit more on his helmet to get a good quality one Make sure it fits correctly etc.

Once again well done.

Well done Mr Redwing!

 

I know we can`t quote on vehicle insurance without specific car details....but don`t think we do mopeds at all. Not my department but I have sent an email whizzing off.

 

 

This is how they transport LIVE chooks/poultry in Vietnam....but they are trying to ban it.

Poor things, how scary for them.
