    Definitely ring around I rung around and the first company basically hung up on me as soon as they heard "'07 bike, 18 year old rider and a 600cc", also got quoted huge excess etc etc... Ended up going with Tim through John Baker Insurance.
    Have been really pleased with him so far Poor guy, I rung quite a few times before I bought my bike asking different questions and then just 2 weeks after I bought it I rung him again to see how much it would be for another bike ... I've even texted him on a Sunday morning to see if I was covered on the marshals play time on the track... And I was

    I was with State. I agree their rates are good. I never made a claim with them. I switched insurer with my last bike because State don't offer extensions for track days and riding courses conducted on tracks.

    +++++ These guys are great. Definitely get a quote from them. Gear and bike accessories are covered in the same policy so no need to pay a second excess claiming them on your contents policy.

    I agree with Mikkel. The true strength of an insurance is only shown when you have an accident. I've had one and I have nothing but praise for David Golightly and vero insurance.

    Plus David is also a Biker and supports the local biker community well with ruapuna safety rides as well.

    PM me and I'll give you his number. After the off I have the insurance policy at work

    PS also covered all my gear, no questions.

    One thing you might like to keep in mind when looking at various policies is do they cover you riding gear too?
    You will pay a premium for the luxury of having everything covered under the one policy but it's worth looking into I reckon.
    Might save you having to pay two excesses, one for the bike and one for you gear under the household policy.
    Just a thought.

    I recommend to not insure, but save your money up and insure yourself. Statisically, you will be better off in the medium to long term, unless you are a nightmare to insure, in which case no one will insure you, and neither should you.

    He certainly seems like a good bastard - haven't had to call on him yet. But I'm certainly getting insurance for my new bike with Vero as well!

    And this is very bad advice!
    Statistically you will be better off by not riding a motorcycle...

    Because I strongly disapproved of your post... That is what red rep is for - and that's why I gave it out. I both explained why and signed the rep message...

    You crying about it in public is just a bonus! Now, do you want to take it international?
