What a fantastic thread....... Its easy to see from the enthuiasm of the postings that everyone is tired of paying high premiums. It stuns me to think that I've been riding over 20 years now (Jeez) and never, ever made a motorcycle claim - I reckon I could almost had a nice 998 in my garage by now! It does strike me though that Ducati's (and spares) are relatively expensive and this is part of the price we sadly, have to pay. My insurance is due in April and even though I'm very happy with Carole Nash insurance, I'm sure I'll be using some of the methods posted in here. As a aside - before I got my Duke I insured my car with Norwich Union as they were the only insurer I could find who provided FREE motorcycle cover (third party obviously) for riding a bike not belonging to you. Finally - I think Murrey mint did post his lovely boobs somewhere, cant imagine what u might search for though. DJT Tough luck mate, unless u know it was you its always worth checking - heard of a few cases of false ID recently. IMHO - bang the insurance renewal in quick !!! Frank |
