    I also have most of my insurance with AMI. They are currently doing bike insurance again. A few years ago they dropped it.

    Got mine done Oct last year and subsequently wrote it off. After some negotiation with the market value they came thru with a cheque pretty quickly. They have a no claims bonus of 40% max but it drops to 0% if you claim. But you can work back up to 40% after a year of no claims. They should take the no claims bonus from previous insurance history. The other bonus is the $300 excess for over 25's. They only do comprehensive, not third party only. Also only market value not agreed value.

    They also will allow you to claim your gear (helmet, jacket etc..) on contents as well. I'm just finalising this claim now. No depreciation on the motorcycle gear (but its only a few months old) but having a discussion re: voucher $'s < cheque $'s. Their excuse is they get a discount with the vouchers but shouldn't I be entitled to the full amount regardless of using vouchers or $'s ?

    Aprt from that the staff have been very helpful, friendly and sympathetic.

    Apparently, our KX and CRF we thought were both insured for whatever happened to them on the back of the trailer. Our biggest fear was the tie downs failing and the bike/s falling off the trailer. We found out a year later that the bikes are only insured for when the trailer flips over. That was frikken full cover?

    Hey Andy, which Yam dealer are you getting your XT from.

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    They probably stop doing new policies. I'm fairly sure the reason I went to State for my first bike approx. 10 years ago was because they didn't do bikes at the time. Anyway they do now which is all that matters.

    which probably meant that if you asked a bit you could get one, but their first response was no....

    I know I know, nitpicking.....

    Any comments/suggestions?
    State shat on me after being with them for ages.
    AMI was good but more expensive.
    AA is just as good as AMI but cheaper.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
