Yes, aware of that but it's better than nothing. Also, I only ride my bikes and Triggers bikes these days so if I throw one of mine down the road, it's insured fully comp, if I wreck one of his by throwing it down the road, he can repair it himself ;D ;D ;D

My CB750 K2 is U.S. Spec. and insured with Footman James on a multi - bike policy (VJMC Scheme). This has not posed any problems. I also checked this year that they had recorded it as an import whilst I was reviewing other information with them (my request, as I have been with them for some 15 years I do this from time to time) and they had it listed correctly. They did, as a matter of interest say that the premium is unaffected by this.

In the past I used other brokers and insurers and might do so again in future, however I always came across problems at some point - usually when insuring my one "new" bike that I use for touring, alongside the classics. Under my policy, I am able to run as many classics as I want (for an add - on fee) however, there must never be more modern bikes than classics on the policy. It also includes the usual European and UK breakdown cover as well as other common insurances and allows me to ride other classics (must be over 20 years old) on third - party only cover.

Try Lynbrooke, when I was with them the insurance was for me, my wife and my dad on any combination of about 5 machines for £148 a year and they never upped the price at renewal by much, plus no mid term alterations fees. When I actually have time to get a bike back running they will be the ones I call.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
