Thanks in anticipation Thumbs Up

But not 17 year olds?

H&R and MCE were always pretty cheap when I started out.

FWIW looked into MCE and got a very good quote.
Then went to CIA and get a better one.

Just need to pick through the details wrt excess, legal cover, etc. and the devil will be in the details Mad

Still open to suggestions (no, not that kind Rolling Eyes

)

www.simplyinsurance.uk.com were super cheap for me last year, but apparently aren't doing bike insurance any more (although I wasn't paying much attention to the lady as the bike was off the road anyway). May be worth giving them a call, I think she said bike insurance through them was being run by another company or something.

Our 20 year old son graduated from H.S. 2 years ago. My husband had been deployed to Iraq from the time my son was 16-18 years old and came home 2 months after my sons graduation. We have 5 kids. This is our 4th child. The 2 oldest are newly married and have nice jobs(1 of them is deployed to Iraq at this present time) and the other 2 Kids are living away from home and working and/or going to college. But this child, our 20 year old son is very lazy, irresponsible, and at times disrespectful. He wants easy jobs with good pay and they aren't out there. He cannot go to college because he got his then 15 year old girlfriend pregnant just as he had turned 18 and was graduating from H.S. and now has a 19 month old son and has to pay child support. And the county will take his college loans or any other money that he has for child support and fees for his anger classes plus some jail fees which he still owes, until he gets them caught up. He can't seem to hang onto a job for more than 1 month. Since my husband came back from Iraq 2 years ago, my son has had many jobs, but he is late to them or calls in sick or lies to us and says they don't need him to come in on that day. He says he is laid off when he has been fired or quit. He also has a misdemeanor against him for being stupid and hurting his baby when the baby was 5 months old. He paid for the abuse by serving time in jail and doing community service. And I know that he knows it was a stupid thing to do and feels very remorseful about it and that it's something that he will have to carry with him for the rest of his life. He loves his son and wants to be a good father and be in his life. He has supervised visits with his son and is on probation and takes anger management classes. And he has had counseling. But he is so lazy and just doesn't seem to get it. He is way behind on his child support and may have his license taken away.

21 is a big drop, it was for me anyway.

I insured with bennetts this year, which surprised me as up till now they haven't been very competitive.

Falcon bike insurance before now have always done quite well, good as a younger rider.

19, Blackbird £600 Tpft

19, Zx12r £800 Fully comp

I paid something like £300 last year for a 600 hornet but was told it was high because of the obscene modification list, falcon though were still cheapest up to this point.

But this year (22) Bennets were best at £188 Fully comp on bmw r1100s.
