JUST motorcycle insurance. £400 excess though
bennetts is 99 quid with 350 excess (with them last year)
motorcycles direct £107 with 250 excess
but me has man flu.
Can't be full blown Man Flu as you're able to type.
Gadzooks man! Women will be thinking that it is all a myth and that we crave sympathy when we have the sniffles.
Pull yourself together man, it's nothing but a common cold.
We all know man flu renders ourselves weak and feable and unable to complete such menial tasks as wiping our own ar$e, yet alone posting on a forum.
Shame on you! ;)

Problem being they don't know you as well as we do;)
It makes a lot of difference deciding what to include and exclude from your policy i.e. Legal protection,recovery and excess limits.
I think I pay about £120 for the Sprint but £200ex and includes legal cover
so taking £20 off for that and increasing the excess would bring me nearer to the same as you apart from the 20years age difference that is.
Mine is well cheap................ 4 bikes including cb1300 and bandit 650....... full comp 100 xs
£209
:D

£119 fully comp on the Mille with Swinton and only a £250 excess.
I cant wait until I am ancient as I'm paying £300 ish for my sv at the minute.

I have a nice postcode..
Despite my claim last yr a new Triumph Sprint is £320 comp with 5 yrs no claims.. Im 24 :-)
Tuono R Factory is £312
now wheres that 9k I had lying around?
43 must be the magic number. I pay £89 for raptor £120 for SV (despite it being a smaller bike?) and £120 for my car with only £30 a year road tax. My daughter has just started driving and paid her insurance last week £783 lol. I also know Im old as I played on Wii last night (sliding penguin game) and could hardly walk up the stairs to bed after

SV & Raptor, have you got them on completely separate policies? Usually if you have a single policy with two bikes on cover, the policy is calculated based on the bike with the higher insurance group then the second bike costs buttons to insure. You can only ride one at a time, so they are not increasing their risk by giving a second, less powerful bike at a fairly nominal cost.

Numbers,if you have the money for a new bike £9000 where is the problem ?Richie Rich:D[Jealous]
Consider how many accidents only involve the bike and rider,if the insurance only have to pay for the bike and it is an older less valuable bike they can offer a lower premium---so biking on a budget for me

cant have multi rider and multi bike so easier to get DD on as named rider on separate policy. He has sold tornado and therefore does not have his own insurance. Just changed sv into his name so he can pay for insurance himself ;)

You laugh...
When my dad was working in Belgium he and a workmate who (for someone in his 60s) was very suave and stylish were standing on a bus
There was a very attractive female sitting on a seat, she caught this guy's eye and he smiled at her
Only for her to get up and offer him the seat :smt043
