Insurance with Golightly/Vero

[hellokitty]

I should have known better then to post something happy and positive on KB.... For a minute I forgot that this is only a place to lay blame and accusations... Silly me, it will not happen again!

Dave is a top bloke, helped a lot with my claim... highly recommended

I am ashamed to say I had a bike insured with the AA. I hit a oil slick on the Auckland motorway in a down pour, the bike hit the armco and was written off. I didn't have a scratch on me. The AA were the biggest bunch of cunts I have ever had to deal with. At one stage some manager there said to me "what did I expect for riding a motorcycle".

I have found John Baker to also be good, if you belong to Ulysses that is. I think is also a vero policy.

I hope you responded in kind with a "what did you expect for being a cunt" (after he's laying on the ground with a bloody nose)

ive got my bike insured with vero through d golightly
aprt from speaking to him on the phone 3 years ago when buying bike i havnt had anything to do with them

I,m insured with vero through golightly and had an a assessor look at my bike after it fell over in the quake. Bloke was fine but after being looked at in the workshop assessor says he will only pay for half the tank to be painted as there was a scratch from my belt buckle on the other half of the tank.! What fucking idiot assessor will do that ? Going to cost me 500 bucks to have it all done and I ,ve been paying full insurance for years on two bikes ........

...yeah, care to elaborate...i've only ever known Dave as a caring and cool type of chap...

same. easy to deal with, friendly to chat to (looked after my gear at a trackday once in their tent and didnt know me from Adam) and reasonable price and great service (at the frontend: thankfully I've not made a claim)

I had a similar experience with State: had a house, contents and car insured with them, and they accused me of wanting to get an (expensive push) bike stolen so I could get the cash and trade in. Of course I had paid $3k for this bike (lot of money to a student) and they were going to give me $1800 and I didnt have the extra $1200 to chuck into replacement at the time. We changed insurers after that
