    Interestingly QBE got both of my last 2 - they were cheaper by $10 for
    me (but GIO were next)

    Can you really blame the insurance companies for charging a laziness
    premium on renewal ? Let's face it - how hard is it to go the greenslip
    website and punch in your data to find the cheapest quote ? It's not
    like it's a hidden secret - the MAA and RTA give you about a dozen
    head's up's that it's there when they send you the paperwork - it's all
    over the place. Anyone who can't be arsed to price compare deserves to
    be charged an extra couple of hundred

    Much as I hate beetlebrows, I think you'll find that greenslips are a
    NSW state government managed debacle. Which, as I'm sure you're aware,
    is governed by a gobshite called Iemma - a moron called Scully is
    primarily responsible for most of the current messes we have in the
    transport portfolio although his successor (Watkins) is doing a very
    ordinary job of sorting them out he has actually fixed a couple of the
    more egregious cock ups.

    My car one went up by something like $45 this year.

    The bike was registered before the "levy" came due, but an online quote
    gives me a quote of $480 at the cheapest insurer - the one I'm using now
    - compared to $436 last year.

    Pretty clear evidence of a marked increase - and that this "small increase"
    touted in all the advertising is anything but.

    Small sample size, anicdotal evidence etc - but as far as I'm concerned
    we're being ripped off - again.

    I would rather have a prime minister who tells the truth punches up
    journalists than one that lies and fucks up the independence movement.

    Remember childeren overboard, "there will never be a GST", weapons of mass
    destruction, tax payer political advertising, Paul Hicks?

    Remember that NSW's subsidises all other states by 3 billion dollars from
    GST.

    LETS JUST BEND OVER AND TAKE IT UP THE ASS, AND PAY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES
    WHATEVER THEY WANT!

    I notice the quote system still doesn't acknowledge that under 100cc
    motorcycles exit. :-(

    got mine at QBE as suggested , QBE is available through bike shops
    so was easy to get for $80 :)

    this no doubt will go up due to the 4wd debacle and prob the surge in small
    scoot sales
