    Strangely, in the post today was the insurance quote from Carole Nash for a single bike of mine I have insured for myself and a friend who occasionally rides it. Last years price was ?76.14, fully comp, this years price (no changes except the usual year older for the us and the bike) is ?131.21! Cough!!. Broker fee is a staggering ?35 - same as last year.

    Work this one out, the insurance on my car and all my bikes have all gone up by approximately 15% because I was involved in a car accident 18 months ago, I was in no way to blame, for my part the accident was 100% unavoidable, the other driver admitted fault, the claim was made against his insurance company, he was successfully prosecuted for dangerous driving and for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, all my no claims was protected and yet I still end up getting well and truly shafted for the next 6 year by the insurance company's, why? Well apparently because I was involved in 1 car accident I’m more likely to be involved in another, yeah like I enjoyed the event so much I think il go looking for another boy racer who’s just passed his test and thinks it’s ok to overtake at 80mph on a blind bend! We live in a mad world.

    As mad as a wooden fireplace !

    some years ago I had a highly modded Astra VXR with a company that sounds like direct line...... I was over 40 and had a billion years of NCB, after a few years they decided to just put up the premium by 70% but could not tell me why. insurance companies are very much about shafting people, as i always say it is a legalised con job

    mine dropped from ?300 to ?270 last year, will have to wait another month to see if it goes up.
    BeMoto Titanium cover.

    personally i would not give DL the time of day as they upped my premium by 70% on my modded Astra VXR some years ago and could not give me a reason why.

    Yes mate agree crazy prices, will give my current insurer a call to see what they can do. If nothing then may have to go with Hastings Direct as they seem cheapest so far for the same cover.

    hastings was/is a good company i was insured with them yonks ago.

    all these increases is a plan to get us all off the road, once done they will wonder why all the tax revenue stopped as those in charge are not really the sharpest tools in the shed

    Cheers mate will give Hastings a call this week.

    Could be a grand master plan to get us off the roads....good luck with your renewal premium.
