Hi all,

just renewed my bike insurance with motor cycle direct

£250 fc (with a £650 excess) Carl is very happy

can you beleive they offered me a renewal of £278, so i told them i'd been quoted £250 and they knocked it down to £248 plus a 2% credit card charge

just so you all know, e bike wanted a few more pounds and i'm happy to stay where i am

£157 TPFT

£250 excess, with uk breakdown cover and legal cover (pillion, TP on other bikes et al)

AND for an RM postcode (romford went up several places in the theft/risk ratings this year)

Edit: BTW, I'm 29 with 1 year NCB

When you think about that, that sort of excess is extreme. If you have to pay that before making a claim it makes a mockery of insurance itself.. They've got us by the short and curlies...

What's your age Carl, if you don't mind me asking and do you park in garage or...???

Cuurently I'm paying £600 fully comp with Bennetts, who in all honesty are okay but you can't have any mods at all. It would have been £400 only some little buggers nicked my 125 bike 2 years ago which puts it up by £200.

Am 28 with 0 NCB and only 2 years with full licence.

22 (nearly)
6 years no claims
garaged
meta alarm and alpha dot

if i go for less excess i end up paying

about £500 for £400 excess
and £700 for £300 excess so i'd rather just pay for lower insurance and fix bits myself
like i did recently

I was with these guys last year (Motorcycle Direct). I thought they were a great outfit.

2005 SV650S (new rider) = £340 FC with a £500 excess!!!

This year I went with MCE who quoted me £250 FC with £200 excess.
The only reason was that they beat the excess quote of Motorcycle Direct by £50.

Magic,
