The law and the insurance industries are clearly a pair of asses.
It's illegal to have a bike that is uninsured even if it's kept in your garage and never used (unless it's on a SORN) .... but you don't have to insure for a passenger ??? WTF ???
Surely if your bike has 2 seats, insurance MUST be there to cover it - it should be illegal for them to offer insurance that doesn't cover pillions (unless it's a dedicated single seat bike) ....

Unbelievable

I tried one of our recomended sites and they will not quote because of mods, but other one came in at 334 but with a 300 pounds excess an WILL cover mods and for fifteen quid extra they will cover my leathers helmet etc. But my fazer is due tax at end of month so i am transfering falco to that policy and pay extra. I think that what will be covered for 334 is a good quote so in febuary when renewal will fall due again i will ask them to requote
So which one turned out best for you?

334 with 300 pounds excess and all mods covered sounds a good deal so that would be my choice
