  1. Insurance rip-off! 
    #1
    I am absolutely f***ing livid. My broker told me that my current insurer wouldn't insure me for the zx10 but could get me a new policy with another insurer for £340 but i would lose the no-claims for that year. I told them to get stuffed and got a policy fully comp for £126.

    That was bad enough. I've just recieved my phone bill and i've been charged £18 for the calls to the broker.

    It works out at £1 per minute and they didn't even give me a happy ending! The company is AQuote and i recomend you avoid these bastards like the plague.

    I was under the impression any company advertising a premium rate number had to advise of the charges on the advert/ paperwork.

    Glad you got it sorted and a good deal - who was that with?

    on the note of insurance i am surprised Dabz hasn't sorted out a reference code with ins companies for the site as could raise money towrds the site fees! Feel free to pm me and I can point you in the right direction

    I could recommend Devitt Insurance. Also do great breakdown cover - £8.50 per month for cover on any bike, in any car, in UK and abroad. Also covers partners if wanted for this price.

    Bennets did the same to me in August. I had to can my current policy with only 4 months left on it to move company to insure my new bike, so lost 8 months of the years NCB as a result!

    I prob see more insurance cover notes a month than most will ever see - advantage it also shows what companies are good for what bikes if people are taking up insurance.

    Just for reference my insurance is £65 a year fully comp with Bikesure
    My fireblade was £112 FC with MCE and the gsxr750 was 105 same company

    It was with dial direct. I think they're all robbing gits to be honest but some less so than others. My van insurance went up by £120 a year because i moved to the other side of town but my bike insurance stayed the same. There doesn't seem to be a system to their charges.

    The quote line for AQuote is 0800 01118444 - that's free on a landline...
