    insurance

    rang 10 insurance companies that do motorbikes only 2 would insure me and only 1 gave comprehensive which was half the price of the bikes worth!

    my bike is a grey import and im a learner

    i'm thinking of using Arista, has anybody heard anything about them?

    thanks

    If your bikes worth less than $3k to $4k youre probably better off with 3rd party anyway. The high excess for being an Learner makes full cover uneconomical.

    Hi there Wendy,
    I am with AMI cause all our insurances are, and the bike rate wasn't excessive compared to other options.
    Honda riders club do a pretty good deal, could be worth checking out the Ausie HRC (I see your in Victoria).
    I take it you got your bike problems sorted (re read your first post).

    I'm with the AA. Been with them for a number of years for the cages and due to my ability to avoid the other nutters on the road, I've now got max NCB for life. They don't normally do bikes and especially not learners but as I had been with them for so long, they contacted the underwriters to get it OK'd. Paid $180 fully comp.
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker

    Thats a bloody good deal swiftone! You must be truely trustworthy! Most fully licensed riders wouldnt be that cheap!

    I guess your premiums must've put a few of their kids through varsity already eh!

    p.s. good decision not riding in today (Friday). tempting this morning but turned into a real shocker!

    You could always try an insurance broker. I've got all my insurance through brokers, and always get a better deal than directly through a company.

    Won't hurt to give them a call.

    These are the two I deal with.

    Imanother vote for Kiwibike. Damn fine to deal with, both Donna & Dave. I suppose being bikers themselves that helps too.
    JUst done the "deal" with them and Im very happy

    I'm with National Auto Club.

    Their premium might be a bit dearer, but when the time comes (like with my car) they are very quick in dealing with the claim. They are even nice enough not to take my no-claim bonus off because the damage was not too much ($3000 damage, of which $1200 is covered by my excess).

    I used my Broker - he came back with a quote for my new VTR250 from Star Insurance (apparently they specialise in Bike insurance only?)

    In any case, for around $700 per year, I got full comprehensive cover

    Excess:
    Theft: $2500 (ouch! - this may be because its new)
    Anything else: $500
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...
