Why oh why do these bloody insurance companies think that I will just accept a 100% increase in my premium year on year?

Last year, 6 years no claims, bike valued at £2000 Shifty

= £98
This year, 7 years no claims, bike valued at £1500 = £204

No new convictions, no change of address, no claims, a year older and wiser... it just doesn't make sense..

Obviously, the obligatory haggling phone call will occur, but I can see me switching to another new policy.
Whatever happened to looking after your customers and encouraging renewals. Surely that makes good business sense, no?

It's a loyalty punishment. The thought of "renewing" insurance just fills me with mirth. New quotes every year, no exception.

My renewal came in cheaper than they offered me redoing a quote on a comparison site.

And yes, all aspects are legit.

£294 TPFT whole year.

Covered on other bikes too.

Ya but what was the bike?

Probably some bum statistic that more people have crashed and claimed on X bike than Y

Either that or black magic witchcraft darkness motherfucker

I was with carole nash for all of 8 months, cost me 200 quid on a 125cc, they offered 470 for my virago with breakdown.
I found insurance for 220, and an additional £39 for AA breakdown, fuck them, new quotes every time

I work for one of the devils out there. It's just down to how the underwriters perceive the risk for that year. If Joe Blogs and his 30 mates have the same bike as you and they all claim regardless of fault it screws you over as much as them. Plus a large number of companies don't offer discount over 5 years NCB, after 5 it's mostly just age. Pays to shop around every renewal just because they were cheapest last year doesn't mean they will be this year.
