They always see what they can get away with.

Usually it's worth ringing around lots of companies when you renew, even if you stay with the same one you should get some good quotes to knock it down quite alot.

Yeah, I am checking some others now. I've got a couple of weeks tho. Problem is I really want cover for bikes I don't own and that may be tricky.

Ring up the company you've had your renewal with and use a different name, if the quote comes out lower, then call them back as yourself and use the quote you were just given..... worth a try I guess Confused


I do hope these quotes aren't for a particular broken NSR.

GGggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr naughty Colin!!!



I'll have to come round and convince you that you need a new bike.

Oh, I've got loads of spare seat covering material as well, if you want a go at fixing your seat?

Hi

My insurance with the Bandit is with https://www.directchoice.co.uk/home/ I think. Their online quotes are not that great, but they do have the option of cover to ride bikes you don't own. Their online quote for me was £320 but over the phone that went down to £225.

All the best

Keith

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr so you can afford to buy yet another NSR, but still no sign of a proper bike that won't blow up on you on the way to a local bike meet.

Well this one is only costing me £150. And I've already sold £50 worth of bits. And I'm sure I can get some more from it as well. So Razz
