Kiwibike does $312.82yr 28.67 mth for full. But $500 excess is bit too expensive I think..

Thats a good price bro. Who is this with and I hope your excess aint $1500? I wonder if I insure the blade with your company might only be $250 a year. I'll save $200

I'm just with State... Yeah my excess is kinda high I think, especially as I'm under 21 it's like $1000, 21 and overs it's like $300 or something off the top of my head. I turn 21 this year so yay! I like have a low premium, plan not to crash :P

when i was 15, on my learners, it cost me $360 to cover my FXR150 under my name: full comprehensive cover, $500 excess, bike was covered for 3 grand.

then of course it got written off while my bother was on it with only 3rd party

Btw AMI can give me $406 or $37.24 monthly for full cover, is it a good deal??

Just so you know. It's currently under AMI for $346.25 with my 40% no claims. My excess is $100. That's with my full license, but it was the same when I had my restricted. It's been at that since I was 19, last time I rung them up they said it wouldn't change again till I was 25.

It doesnt have WOF and Stephen says it needs new gasket and it's got "chin-ching" tyre...

And I'm not sure if I want to ride it back from Manukau to my apartment.

I only did Learner Training so kinda scary to drive all the way up to City from there. Theres so many scary car drivers

"chin-ching" tyres

Dont ride it if it needs new gaskets because you might damage it further. I hope you paid just a few hundred buck for this bike. How many km's has it done? sounds to be it has a whole heap of km's on it if it needs gasket replacements. Trailler the bike back peace of mind to Squiggles place treat him well and he will repair it for you maybe free in exchange for a Japanese lady.

Stephen reckons it's a good buy, I paid $1k with free gloves x2 (normal bike glove and winter glove). I'm not sure how many Ks done, ask Jeremy...

Hmmmm I WISH I can meet Japanese lady...It's so hard to meet, especially good looking one in this country, all good ones stays in Japan

bah gaskets are only a double figure purchase for that bike, so no worries.
