Doing the dance
So it's the time of year I get my insurance renewal through the post and surprise surprise it's gone up nothing has changed except another year no claims gained .you make the call and it goes down why cant they just give you the best price in the first place and stop wasting my time and theres I cant be the only one who has to do this year after year.it really pi**es me off
Re: Doing the dance
It’s the same every year.
This year I got renewal quotes including the mods that have been done to the bike and it still came in cheaper than my renewal for my existing insurer.
Unsurprisingly I didn’t take up their offer.

Re: Doing the dance
About 10 months ago I was it from behind on the M5 going past Avonmouth. No fault was attached to me and I was paid out in full by his insurers. As a result both my car and multi bike policy have all been hiked because statistics say I am more likely to have another accident. Go figure that! 
Honda CB1000 GT (on order), Honda CB1000r, Aprilia Tuono V4R for the track, Yamaha RD250E,
Re: Doing the dance
Had my multi bike renewal from Bike sure and gone up £50,so get on the phone to tell them that the bikes were unused for a couple months due to government guide lines regarding corona-virus and asked how much extra discount it entitled me too?.
This resulted in a long silence from the young lady from Bike sure and a dont know i will have to speak to a manager.This resulted in a £30 discount.
Decided to Mcn compare and ended up going with Bennetts who were offering
more extra bits and pieces thrown in and £127.00 cheaper than my renewal from Bike sure!.
What i dont get is im still with the same insurer Markerstudy ltd?

Re: Doing the dance
Actually got one of mine through today also, Bikesure... gone down almost £10!
Nice surprise that
I'll still run it through 'compare the market' to see but for this bike no one else seems to beat Bikesure.
In fact it must be my lucky day today as a torch that I'd bought from ebay (3 months ago) arrived, so as I'd already had a refund it's now a free torch.

Re: Doing the dance

Both fully comp, all mods declared to both circa £240, so not too bad....

Re: Doing the dance
Just a word on MCE I used to be with them but there policy will repair back to stock parts only so if you have spent big money on exhaust systems etc then it will not be covered in the event of a crash. If this is ok then
