Glad you're going to get insurance. Problem is, it's the times that you ride without insurance, now, that's the problem. As a newbie to riding, you're statistically more likely to have an accident. Even experienced riders have accidents. A coupla years ago, I got sideswiped by a 4X4 that I was overtaking. He moved to the left without checking his mirror. Luckily my injuries were minor, but there was a lot of damage to the bike. His insurance company paid up - but, if he'd had no insurance & could prove that he couldn't pay (He was on old man - a pensioner) then an accident that wasn't my fault could have cost me thousands, and if I had been injured it would have cost me even more.
