    I've found a way to drive the cost down a bit, if i choose a high voluntary excess then re-insure myself again against the excess. I've found that the bikeinsurer.co.uk also offers this at just £30 which covers me for £500 excess:

    This might be something worth considering for young bikers like me

    When i got my ducati 916 when i was 22, my kawasaki zx6r was insured with h & r, they wouldn't insure me on the ducati, so i had to take a different policy out with MCE then 4 months later when the kawasaki policy ran out i rang MCE up and added the NCB onto the ducati policy, saved me about £80 i think. Didn't know you could do this till MCE told me i could

    One thing about insurance - you just don't know how good your cover is till you make a claim.

    How many owners tell the insurance companies about all their mods to their bikes

    Welcome to the world of the thieving, money-grabbing scrotes that are bike insurance companies. If they can screw an extra 50p out of you by any means possible, they will

    I do! Called MCE to let them know about the exhaust and the sticky tyres (anything not recommended in the OEM guide can be counted as a modification from the original spec). Made no difference to my payments but now if I have an accident, I know they can't refuse to pay on those grounds.
