WHAT THE FUCK????????

[freestyler_onli]

I spent £290 installing a Datatool System 3 alarm /immobiliser /movement detector...... to my bike. I rang up the insurance company and how much have they knocked off???

£23 bloody hell!

Thats still over £2100 for fucks sake!

And if you had fitted one of the cheaper alarms such as Solalarm for about £80 you would have got exactly the same discount.

Yeah-thats what annoys me

My own fault really

[meyrick]

Yup, it's a pain

Last night I was surfing for insurance and I found a quote of £375. Not bad, I thought, so I started to fiddle with the options. I wondered how much I could shave off if I bought a brand name lock and chain. So I picked an expensive one at random and....£392 That's right, it went up. I think the formula they use to calculate quotes has a random number in there somewhere

So on the basis of that saving it'll pay for itself in 13 years time
How long were you keeping the bike for?
At least jobs done and you'll have some piece of mind knowing it's there.

If your insurer is Carole Nash I remember them being very pushy to have an alarm fitted when I renewed my policy. Even put me to a special 'department' offering discount on the installaton etc.

Suddenly the £30 self install alarms from eBay don't seem that bad - working alarm that doesn't cost an arm and a leg - has to be a good move.

Well to be honest-although i had a whinge and a moan- im glad i got it. I can leave it knowing that theres some protection.

How much does having a bike in a locked garage bring down the cost as soon I will be having the bike locked up in the garage.

Made about the same difference for me, about £150 cheaper.

Usually a percentage job on the reduction i was told, when i was ringing around i spoke to one guy and he said that my Meta 357 T (alarm/immobiliser) would reduce most insurance premiums by 5% on TPFT.

Reason phoning is often the best method, locked in a garage is one thing, but might be a good idea to mention if its ground anchored, got a garage door anchor and if there are other bikes kept there too... insurance companies more likely to be generous if you seem to be security conscious.

Thats quite worrying T.C, any idea why it happens or is it simply a case of knackered/dodgy electrics?
