Hi All

Just taken out insurance and stated I had a mammoth ground anchor... They said (on the phone) that it is on their thatcham approved list, but I think they thought I meant the bolt in one (this one: https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_rev/74307

but I actually meant this one:
https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/74305

I've tried searching the web to see if my in-concrete one is thatcham or Sold Secure approved, but I cant see anything... Does anyone know?

If it isnt approved, it seems crazy to me that a bolt in one is approved, yet one sunk into solid concrete is not approved, but I'm no expert!

Thanks for any help

Have you considered a TDM?

You didn't state it was thatcham approved, they did. I wouldn't worry about it. Insurance companies record ALL calls so they can check details like this should a claim arrive.

I took out insurance on my TDM900 at 20 after a 50/50% claim. no NCB and 3 points. It was ~£300 because the girl on the other end TOTALLY fucked it up. I got my docs through and it was all wrong. They let me have it because they listened to the call and realised I wasn't in the wrong. The actual cost was nearer a grand.

I believe I think I'm not sure if you may be worrying over perhaps nothing.

It's your contract, we don't know what you said or what was said to you.

Do you want reassurance? It's fine, get on with your life.

Do you want assurance? Talk to your insurer and get it in writing, unambiguously.

Do you want to know what you should have done? Not declared anything unless it was the only way to get affordable insurance, and certainly not made any assumptions about it. Adding an Almax/squire to a quote put my cheapest price up by 1/3rd.

Best of luck.
