Insurance. Is there such a thing as a good deal?

[Edbear]

Vero is a good insurer, as is Lumley's. You could contact Derek at Tasman Insurance Brokers, tell him I recommended you, but personally I'm with Tim at John Baker, he does good deals for KB'rs. His log-on here is Jetboy, so PM him or email him at tim.bakkenes@jbinsurance.com

What's your definition of a [MUCH better] policy?

- Knocked ~$200 off the premium.
- My gear and the pillion's are now covered for damage/replacement up to $2500 each
- Excess is half what it was with AMI.
- The two tickets I got last year didn't affect either the excess or the premium.

I've had no vehicle insurance for 8 years now so have a few grand in saved premiums on that side of the ledger. (well I would if I'd saved it)

lemme guess - overall you are still ahead ? Uh huh. I thought so.

And for those who think it is immoral for me to not have third-party insurance, think again - would you rather ride hot with someone who is committed to no mistakes, or with someone who is not so careful coz hey! we're fully insured! Think really carefully about this. Actually, its not that complicated is it?

They seem fairly expensive..considering DingoZ is paying $40 for comprehensive cover and hence my query...which company?

In answer to your query, sorry haven't looked at this thread for ages. Tower Insurance is the company I have mine with.

Cool, thanks. Will give them a shout.

i should hope for your own health and the well-being of other road users that you'd ride just as carefully with or without insurance...

insurance doesn't cover the hours spent on a bike, nor the loss of life/function.

it IS immoral for you to ride without 3rd party unless you have the cash to pay out.

but of course, now i've got full i couldn't really care less. i hear those insurance companies can be right bastards when they want money out of you

I know classiccover insurance quite well, from memory they use vero as underwriters, the staff there rock and i think they are quite competitive.

I just did an online quote request with them for me and my zxr250 with an L plate, i imagine thats going to sting!
