    Bloody thieving bastards!

    Im picking up my new bike on Fri from Taupo and riding it back down to Wellytown. I thought that I would be all organised and get the insurance sorted out ASAP. Unfotunately, thanks to all the bastard arsewipes out there that insist on stealing peoples bikes I am having more than a hard time trying to insure my new bike. I have no garage but am planning on disc locking and chaining the bike, however most insurance companies wont even touch me cause it wont be locked up in a garage and too many bikes have been stolen lately! So now I am at a loss as to what to do. I really want to have insurance but it would seem that I cant and im really fucked off! I know it isnt the insurance companies fault but man I just wanna throttle someone!

    Ranteth endeth.

    Have you tried John Baker or kiwibike insurance ?

    Some good reports in here about them both.

    Surely you can lock it, place a bike cover over it and keep it out of sight from the road ?

    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Havent tried John Baker but good idea!

    I explained to the people that it'd be well of the road, covered, disc locked and chained and they still wouldnt insure me. BUT they would insure me for no extra charge for track days and to let my under 25yr old partner ride it as well. I would laugh if it werent so painful!
    I even told them that is already a 400cc plus a mint A100 that is parked there uncovered and unlocked every bloody night and it hasnt walked but there is no convincing them,. They must be losing far too much money from stolen bikes!!

    Yep, same story with them too.... I understand why, I just wish I could take as gun and shoot the people responsible for stealing. Maybe I will buy a really viscious guard dog and chain him to the bike as well......

    Well you're very understanding then aren't you cause I'm stumped.

    How many people don't have their bike locked away in a garage and have managed to get insurance ?

    Ive had a bike living in my lounge for the last few months but I live up a flight of stairs and the RG will not fit round the corners of the staircase to my flat. I know this cause we tried to get my bucket racer up them..... I so would keep them all in my flat if I could!!!

    When asked about the garage thing, I told them it is outside and chained using a 'motorcycle chain' (they asked if it was a motorcycle lock chain) and secured to a solid steel ground anchor into solid concrete and also has a security camera pointing at it. Oh and having a cover also brings it down I believe too.

    It may as well be a garage in their eyes - if that makes sense?

    I am also planning on fitting a remote disabling thingy to it - LINK

    If you want help setting up something similar, im only too happy.
