They're doing 'Rider' policies again.. Which is great for people like myself with more than one bike with none being in the same insurance category. They used to do one years ago, but for some reason stopped doing it. So now, instead of having a Vintage, Modern and Special policy, they're able to all go on the same one.
To this extent, I've just added the Futura in with the 6T at a cost of £60.. I can live with that.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I'm with them ...... for my car insurance.
They were (are?) doing special deals for bike riders on car insurance.

Last time I was with Carole Nash, they quoted me £360 for a new policy, I told them to sod off and they came back an hour later with a quote for £180, fully comp with breakdown cover and riding other bikes.
Last year they tried to stiff me due to a pending none fault car accident so I left them, but if their price is good this year I'll happily go back.

I won't touch them again as the excess they want to for insuring a trike is ridiculous!

My Suzuki chop is insured with BikeSure who're a sister company of Adrian Flux. Very good rate. Carole Nash wouldn't touch it as their computer couldn't figure out what it's supposed to be.. Eh well, all's sorted now.

I have a multibike policy with Buckingham insurance.
Every bike I add to the policy costs me 50 quid.
D rider and I think flatlander got a quote from them last year, and insured his bike with them.
My excess has dropped again this year which I am please about

Tolerance will be our undoing.

Good job there's no referral scheme. Referring flatlander is likely to cost you money rather than earn you a reward...
