You said HOW much?!

Well I came to re-insure my Ducati Monster 600 today. I've only just passed my test a year ago but have 3 years no claims. I'm 21 at the moment.

Down south in Southampton where I lived until coming to university I was paying £420 third party only. High but payable. That was with only 2 years no claims and a recent pass on my license.

Now with 3 years no claims and living in Glasgow third party only has shot up to £850! Thats the lowest I could find from a dozen insurers.

Why is third party only effected so much by location? I can see the reasoning behind theft being location based but why this.

Basically I cannot afford to own a bike in Glasgow, which is really going to hurt me in terms of commuting and enjoyment.

Sorry for the rant but this one really ticked me off.
