Ten Grand Insurance Mindboggler

Whoever you go with make sure you phone your current insurer and the others offering the best quotes and play them against each other.

express knocked about £75 off the next best quote for me, and the advantage with them is that you can ride any other bike third party.

What bike are you getting now ?

No Idea............pedal power?

TG - Try Quinns: http://www.quinn-direct.co.uk/motorcycle/ these seem to come up cheap in gocompare.com. Not too sure what they are actually like, but might be worth a try.

All the mods are reversible, all original parts will be provided too, so you could knock them out on here and pay for a years insurance out of it!

I thought it felt ever so slightly non-standard...

So, how's this for the biggest drop in insurance prices from the same company:
Ten thousand pounds down to...
£159.75 including legal, helmet & leather, Euro cover and breakdown!
I think this is pretty good for no no-claims, returning to biking after eight years off.
It was initially nearer to £200 but I did some nifty negotiating (highly recommended - I try never to pay the first or even the second price I get from a company, there's always a bit of wiggle room - the last bit is always to get below the next nearest tenner, in this case from £165 to under £160!).
As Miles suggests (very good advice!), bounce them between each other until you've squeezed every last few pounds off them!
Managed to negotiate a great deal on Sky Plus last year, and mobile phone contracts for myself and Mrs Tallguy last weekend!
I'm not a professional negotiator, but basically have lost patience with people who pretend to give the best price whilst clearly holding back .


Grumpy old man syndrome? Well, if it saves me nine and a half grand...
