'That' kind of bike...

[Daffyd]

I got mine through Kiwibike and cost $719. It is Swann insurance but not sure on track days and rallys. The not covered section includes this clause: "taking part in, or practicing for any race, time trial, rally, sprint, drag race, or any similar motor sports, or use on any motorcycle race track unless you are participating in an approved rider course with our consent." I would like to go on the next track day and do the rusty nuts (a rally??), so will need to clarify the cover or change insurer?

Is there an insurer who provides cover for a rally.

My interpretation is the word "rally" refers to competitive rallies...not the general gathering of bikers at a common location for purposes of "socialisation".

Got the beast today.
What a wicked bike to ride, had only 1km on it when I got it.
Put 110km on it now and hit 165 a few times, just qiuetly.
Micron cans, seat cowl and hugger on.
Awesome engine feel, good loudness and a nice popping from the mufflers on deceleration every time.
Early days, but its a pleasure to ride, wicked torgue and massive acceleration and roll on.
The gearbox is average tho, even compared to my old CB900, the gear selection does'nt feel positive and I found a neutral between 3rd & 4th, but reading some Triumph sites, they say its quite common.
But, as said, early days and I'm more than happy.
Heres some pics.

How much longer will they provide cover if they get a few more claims like this?

Well, you wouldn't want to do it too often, of course they will start getting a bit nervous - all Insurance Companies would. I am impressed with the report though, a good news story!

We're with State, have been forever with all our insurances and have always had excellent service from them! I have nothing at all negative to say based on our experiences. Then again, we've been with Westpac for many years, too and I've only got high praise for the way we have been treated by them as well! Maybe we're a bit different?

Likewise I have been with State forever for home, car and business insurance. Their quoted premium for the bike was way to high. A few years ago I went through the same exercise when I wanted to insure a power boat. State's premium was double the cost of cover through a specialist boat insurer.

They said they'd only insure the Triumph because of us being the above, as they are quote ..... 'that kind of bike'........

What, a good bike they mean?

Just got a quote back from Classic, $864. Sounds good compared to $1600.
So I got a quote for the CB900, $254.
Looks like I'll change.

I'd be guessing your gearbox will get better with age too.

Enjoy.

Indeed.
You're a champion!

Do you have to sign any forms etc etc, as all I got back was an approval and costs etc.
No where to say...'sign here'.
Never dealt online with this kind of thing.

Being something of a distinguished personage myself, I'm with Classic too. Always done the deal over the phone with the wifes credit card. They've been great with some recent claims too.

Just pay the account. That is your acceptance of the contract.
