Woohoo Swann Insurance - unexpected suprise

**Chickadee** · 9th June 2007, 09:51

We changed insuring our motorbikes to Swann (through Kiwibike - Motorcycle Insurance Brokers New Plymouth). Anyway I got home after a walk with my two wee fellas in the afternoon to find a message on the answering machine.

Basically Swann Insurance had a promotion running in May where they were giving away prizes of $1,000 voucher for motorcycle gear, and I was one of those fortunate enough to have my name pulled out of the hat.

Vouchers on it's way, so we're off to Motomail (store elected by Swann) to salivate

over the options until we get the voucher.

YAYEE can't believe it! We're desperately in need of a few items so it couldn't have been timed better.

SWANN INSURANCE YOU ROCK! Better deal on insurance, as part of the insurance there's road side assistance and I win a voucher - sooo cool!

Woohoo!!! A more deserving couple would be hard to find. Well done.

Fantastic! Shopping...with someone else's money, way to go!

Swings and roundabouts huh? I guess all those little bits of gubbinz you always wanted will be nesting in your shelves soon! Nice one, nice one

Just try and not spend it all on one item!

So many goodies, what to buy....

Think it's new trouser time for me, my pair have been a bit melted from the last bin on one leg, and that I'm sure will gobble up a fair bit of the budget!

Don't forget to put some dosh into buying kewl but useless stuff! Like those little cord reminder thingies and visor wipers and those sucker toys that you can stick onto your helmet ...

Next thing you know, you'll be strutting around in your biker boots like Nazis!

(gijoe1313 goes for the thread closure! Yes!)

You think I look like a National Socialist Worker? Or that I'm about to have a party? (McJim quickly refers to the party's pre-Adolf days in an effort to diffuse the Godwin effect) Rolls 3 D10........
