Hey!... I was bitchin waaaay before then!!!!
Her_B4 had a problem when she said "Ducati" to AMI too.... bars-tards


and after february, I would have spent more time here that there

[meon3]

Yeah.. it is an RS250..... and am a good mother...Hes been racing MX for alot of years and rides with me and his Dad, must be the best way to learn ? In actual fact more power will be safer when riding with us, overtaking etc, considering we covered 2000km in 2 days just this weekend.

[meon3]

Thanks for the advice guys , is actually his second bike has left school and is working full time. Might see what dealer offers

... AND you're really old.

So unfortunately we must guess that the insurance costs for your 750cc motorcycle of similar value aren't very relevant to this lady's query.

$860 per annum's a bit pricey for a Z750, though, innit? Did you get a quote from Protecta?

My intention was to give a ball park figure, given my age you would expect to pay more for a younger rider, Protecta through the bike shop were more expensive but not by much so I went with my own insurer.

15 yr son is buying new bike, $10,000 plus 250cc. Who is he best to Insure with?

Meon3, welcome to the site....
Question are you the family I meet outside Mt Eden's the other day.... and then took you guys to Motomail???
If so, its good to see you guys on the site......

AMI wont even insure a 33 year old on a $8500 Duc!!!! with contents insurance thru them!

Huh? You have two Ducatis?

[gav]

Nice thought and all, but really how about an RG150 or FXR150 rather than the RS250 for his first road bike? Great learner bikes, give him a year then maybe the RS250 after that.

Yep you sure will..... I thoroughly enjoyed talking with you guys.....and good luck in finding the bike for your young fella.... He is a really nice young man and seems so level headed...

Who knows maybe I will end up at that pub near where you guys are for a coke or something....lol .....

That is where we are at, he has an RG150E and has covered thousands of kms on it. He has proved himself and now is outriding it. Insurance tho was under ours and not a good idea.

[What?]

I've had good results going thru Eric Wood m/cycles.

Me too, but neither of us is 15...

Started with state, after a decade of not needing em someone hits me from behind: another state member. They did a huge crap on me and I said you state.
AMI, great insurer, once used em with no worries. Changed to AA as they offered me a much cheaper offer as I was a member and they'd be easily as good as AMI.

I would have thought it would be cheaper for you (melon3) or his dad to register it and just have him down as a covered rider.

Otherwise I except no matter how sensible and mature he is (and he does sound like it) most, if not all insurance companies, will hear 15yr old and rs250 in the same breath, and pass it quicker than you can say cya.
