Insurance...How is that possible?

kwikbitch · 20-Aug-2004, 00:31

I'm not complaining but...my first years insurance is up for renewal...
I have asked to be quoted for both bikes Duke and Mito on the same policy...
Most quotes are about £400-£500 quid cheaper than last year...
I know that no claims has a lot to do with it...but surely not THAT MUCH...

How can they be allowed to rip you off in your first year like that?

Guilty until proven innocent lisa!
And first years no claims can often be about 35%
If you want some real entertainment.... try insuring a spec'd up 996 and a fireblade on the same policy and see how many brokers just larf at you!!!

Spec'd up 996 & fireblade,that's nothing!!

Try a pair of spec'd up Dukes,a Foggy rep & a Bayliss rep,on the same policy,with an agreed value on each!! Now that is entertaining!! Can you imagine how much fun i had talking to a very nice(but totally clueless)insurance broker about that one!!

Insurance is just one big rip-off,i thought everyone knew that!!

PS One years no claims,are you sure?I take it we're not mentioning Cadwell!!

bb - "pair of spec'd up dukes" no thanks, I have enough trouble as it is!!!

I don't blame the insurance co's tho, I blame the ****s that make the fraudulant claims, and the not very nice people who take bikes which aren't theirs
