I've just bought my first car...
for £120. It's costing me £900 to insure it as I have no *car* no claims discount, and even though I have shedloads of NCD from my years on motorbikes, they won't take that into consideration. Cunts!

bikes != cars
(they take a lot more concentration and carry a bigger risk of injury and/or death if things go wrong. I know.)
if you can find somewhere that does combined 2 vehicle insurance that will also insure your bike, it could well be worth asking if they would consider your bike NCD as valid. good luck with it, though, I've not found anywhere that will let you transfer NCD in either direction across the 2/4 wheels divide.

I assume the thinking is that a long-term car driver who starts on bikes probably hasn't a clue how quickly a bike can hit a tree and how much it hurts to do that without a cage and airbags, so they are more likely to have a series of idiocy-crashes until they settle down or give up.
From bikes to cars, until you get used to the pulling out of junctions thing needing scheduling a couple of days in advance in your calendar, the fact that you have a heck of a lot of extra metal attached to your left hand side, noisy mates in the back or passenger seat, etc, you are assumed to carry a bigger risk of hitting things.
