I'm with Bov on this one, I to am with carole Nash

They were the only one I found, which offered a heap of stuff as standard.

Other companies insisted on charging for each add-in I required.

Congrats on picking the best bike Nick and welcome to the best site :) :)

Well, it's a can o fookin worms dude. I use Carole Nash too, but they aren't cheap. But then again, none of them are. My pup just got insured as a first timer for about 25% of the nearest rival at www.clickquote.com so I suppose you could give them a try. I do know that a lot of insurers won't touch Bird riders. I upgraded from a Pan European which I had no problem insuring, and was with Bennetts. When I bought the Bird, Bennetts wouldn't even quote me for a Bird. So off I went to CN and have been there since

PS How about changing your Profile so we can all see which part of the world you live in - we like to be nosey :D

Nick it all depends how old you are and where you live

If you're around 30 and in the South East forget Carole Nash I got quoted over £800 by them :shock:

My latest renewal has come through from a small broker in Maidstone, Kent called Dyer and Holmes and it's £320, thats 31 yrs old, full no claims, kept in shed, datatool alarm but with Micron cans.

Send me a PM or e-mail if you want the number.
On the eighth day God created Harley, on the ninth he traded it in for something cheaper that was more fun to ride.

Nick,

Hi and welcome to the site - INSURANCE what a F%&king nightmare. I have put some telephone numbers for regularly used Insurance Companies in the NIK-NAXX section "Useful Information" section. Hope this helps. Carole Nash did knack all for neither my husband or I, and were at least twice as expensive as we eventually found. Just keep ringing around. You will find a quote, eventually. Play them off each other, surprising what they'll do to beat each other.

We use: Honda Cover UK (best for Deano) and Biketeam for myself.

Please if you need any help just shout.

Regards
Mandy

Hey Bristle

Just remember that Taz's back, and as I consider myself a lover not a

fighter, I'll leave the physical abuse up to the wee man. :evil: :evil:
