Insurance Time again :-(

I hate this time of year...Insurance is due, and I hate all the same questions
over and over again. One quote I have received is rather favourable and is from
"ChoiceQoute" via www.clickquote.com Has anyone used these people before, and
if so are they any good?

TIA

Currently insured with them. They weren't the cheapest for the basic cover,
but were the cheapest for an inclusive package of insurance, breakdown
cover, legal expenses etc etc.

They did initially provide the quote based on 6,000 miles per annum. When I
pointed out I do somewhat more than that, it only cost a fiver to raise
that to unlimited mileage.

I didn't think £150 for TPFT unlimited mileage and business use was too bad
on a GTR.

I used them last year & didn't have any problems. What was nice was the
quote didn't triple when I told thenm that the bike wasn't garaged. They got
the details right & I didn't make a claim so can't comment on that side of
things. This year the price went up by £30+, so I changed to another broker.

I found them to be a bit expensive and not particularly flexible.

You should try

and if you go with them let me know so I can tell them I recommended
them to you and get £20 off them.

'Bennetts in cheap quote' shocker. Just renewed with Bennetts at over
£100 quid cheaper than the renewal quote from my current insurers.
Includes free puncture recovery which may be useful.

I was surprised with my previous insurer that despite my no claims
bonus going from 3 to 4 years, I've now had a full licence for >2
years rather than >1, the bikes value has depreciated, yet the quote
goes up by over 10%.

I think I might be going TPFT from now on ...

£864 from Auntie Carole.

Not really worth it on a 5yo Blackbird, and an 8yo Wing, is it?

How much cheaper is TPFT though? I bet a fair bit of that comes from the
theft risk, what with you living in a dangerous inner-city battlezone.

that the Trophy didn't need to be insured...

 

I'll be ringing tomorrow.

Here?

Elysian Fields, mate, and no mistake.

Well, they were. It's all flats now, of course.

I note the final large "industrial" unit on the IOD is currently being
demolished.

So much for the birthplace of the Great Eastern. <sob>

I tried that with the KH500, and they laughed. It doesn't work like
that with "real" motorbikes, apparently.

Yebbut, you're *old*.

More to do with not living in the Baghdad of Britain I should think, oh fat
****.

 

Eh? I haven't been shot by a GI in *weeks*.

To be serious for a moment, the IOD is by far the most peaceful place
I've lived since I moved up to t'smoke in 1982.

Clapham Common was "lively" as could be expected;
East Acton was noisy as ****, seeing as I lived *on* Western Avenue;
North Acton was like an unruly version of Fallujah;
Millwall is an oasis of calm and serenity.

Only fair: Dodger adds a hefty loading to the KH.

 

I wondered about that with the old Duke - and the ShiteOldSaab - before
I flogged it.

FC is also about hassle factor. There are *so* many uninsured wankers
about these days. I know at least three people who've been the subject
of hit-and-run on bikes....

I know there's MIB[1] cover etc etc, but FC insurance just means peace
of mind.

[1] No, Pip.

 

*Snort*

 

<smug>
Bandit 1200: GBP160 FC, including cover for other bikes.

Probably helps that the third party insurers have started coughing up
the cash, mind.

 

Mine's £195 FC with Carole Nash - as above but I'm a *lot* younger than
Platy. The policy covers a collective of MZs (now down to 3); the Turbo;
a shite old XS400 and my Guzzi. Brighton - insured as none garaged.

 

Heh. Lovely.
