    To be honest I think it was some kind of offer Casbolt's ran when I bought the bike. So maybe my tasteless gloating is irrelevant. For a change.

    Sounds 'bout right, with the addition of gearing for age and riding history, of course.

    Yes, dammit. I prefer a bit of zing and spice to my gloating, with a hint of meaty rancidity.

    Yeah,I'm a bottom feeder,seldom own bikes worth more than a weeks wages.But with the price of vehicles varying so much these days it's kinda hard to get an idea of how much things are worth - dealer retail price,dealer trade in price,private sale price,or how much some clown will pay on TradeMe.To me a bikes worth as much as it's worth to me - but how do insurance companies value them? I know they send out ex dealers to asess values,bit of a stab in the dark...

    Same as Motu,if I crash it or it goes walk about I'll just save up $1000-1500 an buy another one.
    The only bike I ever did insure,I wrote off an the insurance co' dicked me about for months then payed out around half of what I reckon they should of.
    From now on I take my chances.

    With AMI its $78 per month for my GS1200SS and $63 per month for the RE5.

    House, contents, truck, horse float, and Farm liability all total less than that.

    I have no insurance, but I got two quotes last month...

    I am 25, with a 1L licence and a road-sport bike...

    One option was for $563/year with $500 excess or $100 for theft.

    The other was for $551/year with some odd excess scheme.

    Although my bike isn't worth a whole lot, so that's probably not too surprising. I guess the trick is not to buy the expensive bikes.

    I don't know. I don't have any official no claims bonus from the UK as I've driven company cars for the last 10 years. The only cars that I did own I managed to throw onto my employers corporate policies anyway.

    The only crash I've had in a car during the last 15 years was into the rear end of my (at the time) bosses 2 day old Merc, and that was on government property so it was cosidered private land by the insurance company, so for some reason they didn't count it. :spudwhat:
