2 bike insurance

[SPR]

Bit late I know but try Lynbrook

I've the Laverda at an agreed 10k value and 3000 miles per annum for £176.00 with the 500/4 being added for another £50-60 when due in a couple of months - they don't charge ridiculous admuin fees either for policy changes or additions

Many thanks Simon 👍, I tried them but the modern bike is the problem. I’ve kept the answered list of questions they sent me on file for future quotes, and sent it to Peter James to see what they can do 🤞

I spoke to PJ after a row with CN.

He said there was no way he could compete on the modern bike (Triumph Tiger 660) so wouldn’t even try.

Best to insure separately ?

Now there’s a question.

Noted thanks Steve. Bikesure is the lowest so far (separate policy) on the modern bike. I think a practical solution might be to insure the modern bike for the summer, and the 500/4 all year so it gets more use, minimising ‘laid up time’ to keep the carbs clear etc.

Many thanks both, same thought about the modern one. I was looking to have it for a short tour in France with pals on modern bikes, but may look to hire or borrow!

If you want to hire i can recommend these guys in Woking. Road Trip Motorcycle Hire and Tours.
Hired a Bonneville from them last year for my 60th birthday, the bike was immaculate and they have a great selection of bikes from 125 cc to large BMW’s. Not cheap but very nice bikes.

Many thanks Bradders, near me so I’ll take a look 👍

I have used Footman James for a "modern bike" as well as classics for some 20 years now. Premiums seem fair to me, as the modern bikes are always large capacity tourers (BMW K1300GT, Kawasaki 1400 GTR etc). Costs usually around the £300 mark, without any restrictions on mileage.

Many thanks flatfour.

Just my two pennyworth regarding Insurance.

From my recent dreadful experience, DO NOT GO ANYWHERE near Grove & Dean Insurance Brokers.

Long story, but in all the years I have been buying Insurance (since 1966), this outfit is the worst I have ever encountered. They insist that customers are open and honest in their dealings, yet they don't seem to think those criteria apply to themselves !

Happy to explain in detail if anyone wants more info - but I'd rather you just take my word and look elsewhere..........
