Nice weather huh? could get bike out of garage if I wanted to, and I am in the 'warm south'!

Anyhow, my insurance is due, am currently with the inevitable Carole Nash and they charged me £125 last year, which I though OK (ish) as I had no no claims. This year they want to charge me exactly the same. When I called them they told me their 'Classic' insurance doesn't have no claims discount! ( nice of them to tell me before ) the nice lady told me all policies I would be able to get would be the same, but then she would wouldn't she.

So before I start asking various members of the african rodent population etc etc, who are you guys with? and does anyone get a no claims discount?

I got two 500's on one policy with Nash for £122. don't think i could get it cheaper and I do believe they are right in that unless you are qith one of the real pricey firms you won't get NCD on a bike policy. Only thing that does make my blood boil is that they nag you by phone and text when renewal date is due

I've done quite a lot of investigation recently. It seems to me that classic insurance doesn't come with NCB, since you are only using them on high days and holidays. For example commuting can be excluded - perhaps not something insurers expect you to do on a classic.

I say this because I'm insuring a VFR750 (18 yrs old) and a CB400F (35 yrs old) so sometimes the VFR is a classic, sometimes it is not. Hence I perceive these differences between classic and everyday insurance.

They are my cheapest so far TPFT is £97 *but* limited to 3k miles per year per bike.

Carole Nash were the most expensive. 200+ TPFT. Footman James 180 fully comp (no TPTF available) reduced from 213 with HOC membership.

I think I might go for Lynbrook for 1 year. I have no recent (bike) history, which makes it more difficult.

Hi i've been with Lynbrook for a few years now i only have tpf&t cover and insure 3 classics for £90 per year ,  ;) cheeers Mick.

Waggles:
Hmm, beginning to look like I am stuck with Nash! its just galling when you think you are being ripped off!

Will try Lynbrook, but if its £90 for TPF&T my £125 for fully comp is looking good. Have tried the usual comparison sites and they don't list sohc CB750s at all. Tried 'Be wiser' who just quoted £161 fully comp so its not looking good.

As a matter of interest although its a Classic insurance I AM covered for commuting as I do use my F1 for that.
