Bike insurance

Please .... DON'T TELL ME TO USE THE #$%@&^* SEARCH FUNCTION !!!

Where do you go, when your insurance co will no longer cover you, because of two recent claims, the last being a write off ?

Has anyone got any favourites .... apart from Classic Cover, for obvious reasons ... (like they said no more!). They were great too .....

Has anyone had any experience with eBike Insurance .... an Aussie outfit, who supply us with insurance cover over here. They sounded ok and at least had bike recovery insurance (4 x a year), $400 excess, and $4K cover on your helmet, clothing, etc.

State weren't too bad premium wise, but high excess, and no bike recovery.

Help a guy out why don't ya ???!!!

Yeah, I'm interested in this as well, as AA won't cover me due to a learner's licence.

All of these matters have been dealt with before. The search function should be your friend and you should use it, for reasons that will become apparent if you read on.

The answers you seek will be best dealt with be ringing up a broker or an insurance company and talking with them directly about your options and concerns.

What happens next in threads like this is a whole bunch of speculative nonsense about what may or may not have happened to people in situations similar to or completely different to yours. Various brokers will be recommended by some and slagged off by others.

After 50 posts, somebody will mention waving. By 70 posts Godwins Law will have been triggered. If it's still going at 80 posts, it will most probably be in Pointless Drivel and have moved on to a learned discourse on beer or fart jokes. People may even start counting backwards from 1,000.

Good luck.

Give John Baker insurance a go 0800 656264. I have just recently moved there from Classic Cover simply because Classic no longer provide track day cover. I have also heard good things about Kiwibike insurance. You might be expensive though with your recent history. Good luck.

you could try Dave at KIWIBIKE...if you have contents cover cheak with your insurer if they cover your riding gear

my insurer covers riding gear under contents with full replacement on helmet and depending on age and condition of gear will depend on what they pay out

I use Lumleys......$500 excess and cover for your helmet, clothing blah blah blah and also recovery. Not to mention, I had to make a claim, the assessor saw me the same day and the claim was settled the following day.....would recommend them as they are really easy to deal with.
