Insurance, sometimes I like being old!

I've always had fairly old, hacky bikes and being old myself and female insurance has always been pretty cheap.

Sooo, got the renewal through today for my 3 current bikes and it was £155. Not bad I thought, but I'm changing bikes and the new one is big and new so, gulp, get on the phone to Carole Nash to see what they can offer me.

Tell them the 2 Eliminators are going but I need to reinsure the Zeph, then give them the details for the new bike. On hold we go while they recalculate and umm and ahhh (WHY do I keep buying imports that don't appear on their standard database? Especially as the bike has had a reg no allocated to it but is still in the process of being registered at the DVLA............. Rolling Eyes

)

OK, here we go. So that's a brand shiny new 800cc Suzuki v-twin and a '93 400cc Zephyr, both fully comp, agreed value, protected no-claims, breakdown included, 3rd party for other bikes included, no garage conditions, excess of £250 on the Suzuki and £100 on the Zeph, that'll be...........

......£205 please madam! Thumbs Up

Sometimes the wrinkles are worth it! Laughing

I crashed their servers asking for a '98 R1 for a 17 yr old.
They've got IBM's super computer on the case right now!

Nice going, babyyam! I know what you mean - there are advantages to getting old! Wink

I pay £113.75 fully comp with a £200 excess on a TRX850. Some of it is down to the location though - insurance here works out (for me) to approx half to what I was paying in Reading - but being the wrong side of 30 (and female!) is definitely good in some respects!
