Is it considered a lapse in coverage if I cancel my car insurance, but I stay on my parents' insurance?

I just bought a motorcycle. As such, I won't be driving a car nearly as much, if at all, in the future. I want to cancel my car insurance, and I'm still on my parents' policy for the same vehicle. Is this considered a lapse in coverage?
