Sorted today had quotes as little as £148 fully comprehensive with £350 excess but once you start adding legal cover, helmet and leathers cover and breakdown cover to these policies the price goes through the roof so I've stuck with Bennets and got a package that included everything, the only thing that I wasn't happy about was the breakdown cover although with the RAC was very basic so I paid extra to upgrade it but all in still only £237 so reasonably happy

Mine is due this month. I've not had a quote yet from MCE. I'll wait for that then call Carole Nash. They're not the cheapest but I like their service.

I had MCE when u had my off in 2010 and were great with sorting the money out with the bike being written off but you may remember they dragged there feet when the other drivers insurance company tried to take me to court, it got sorted In the end tho.

MCE now comes with free track day cover

Yeah I saw that Blade but it's not very good cover. There are a few exemptions and the excess is 50% of the value of your bike.

Oh I see, I suppose it had to be too good to be true.

Had an email off Bennetts about my 2 year ncd all had to do is take a photo of my renewal letter on my phone and text it to them, happy days.

Check house insurance as bike clothing and helmets can be covered under the policy, mine is

That's interesting. What does it cost for what level of cover ?

You have to be careful with all these things house insurances claim to cover.

The excesses involved generally make it not worth claiming for them and of course once you make a claim on your house insurance you are obliged to notify everyone when you renew or search for new cover.

I claimed for full kit on mine after an off and it didn't affect my house premium at all.

...but yes always check

MCE sent me a renewal reminder letter

with no quote

I hate speaking with the insurance company, well that's when I am not on hold!! And they still get it all wrong. Utter shower the lot of them.
All very fresh in my mind as I was on the phone with them yesterday. Arghhhh.... Hate it.
