If it is radicaly less than last year, check you have *exactly* the same cover. They fail to notify you if the drop off thinsg like "riding other motorcycles TP" and "business use"
She's sent through three quotes for me this week. £375 (excess up to £400 - no helmet & leather cover) I queried this and got:- £379 (excess stays at £250 with helmet & leather cover) I queried this and mumbled "Bennetts" and got:- £340 (excess stays at £250 with helmet & leather cover) 'What was that you were saying about "best quote", Auntie?'
'fraid I don't believe that alarms will stop your bike being stolen. I think they may act as a deterrent to amateurs but a pro will have it.
The Datatool 3 is an alarm/immobiliser, so if some amateur tries to nick your bike, but can't, it's paid for itself overnight.
Big **** off piece of chain around the nearest lamp-post is a pretty effective immobiliser and a damn site cheaper.
<sigh> If you don't want to carry a big **** off piece of chain with you everywhere you go, and an amateur tries to nick your bike, but can't ....
Just wrap it around the back tyre when not in use. Sure, it's a bit bumpy but a modern bike's suspension is built to deal with that kind of thing.
