    After much searching around, the renewal with Bennetts even with the 'renewal fee' worked out about the same as everyone else as it included their full cover packages (breakdown, personal accident, legal, helmet & leather). So, I just let it renewal.... or so I thought! The CC number they had was one that was replaced and I didn't realise. So, got a text from them yesterday stating they couldn't get payment. Panic phone call, new card details given and cover sorted (open on a Sunday - nice). Had a lucky escape as I didn't attend the ride out after all so potentially could have been riding without insurance that day! However, I did notice the e-mail from Bennetts asking them to call urgently did state they continued the policy regardless so I don't risk having my bike seized with this running for a couple of weeks. So, Kudos to Bennetts for having such a system where I wouldn't show us uninsured, but makes me wonder if I did have an accident yesterday morning they would use this as an excuse not to pay out. Still. Sorted now.

    Good that you have it sorted and perhaps a lesson to be learnt if we just let the renewal run.
