Wotcha!
I have just had my renewel come through from Carole Nash and guess what it has jumped up 50%!! I have had a pop and they have very kindly taken 10% off................big deal!
Does anybody have any ideas who to goto? Basically i have a ZXR 750 '92 and a KH400 '76 plus 6pts from flicking my wrist last year in the wrong spot. Oh i nearly forgot 16yrs NCB.
Cheers
Andrew

I have my KH250 and 400 with peter james. £80
very easy to deal with,
unlimited millage,
fully comp
They do ask for pictures of the bikes for your valuation confirmation,
just added my H1b import today on the frame number ,£31.51 extra for 12 months,
so £111.51 for three bikes,
plus I also have speeding points .
didnt ask for NCD

They will deal with newer bikes than that.. they quoted me on my 2003 WR 250, without any arm twisting..
Your call Andrew

When I first insured through Carol Nash in the late 1980"s i went to her house about a mile away from me and she worked out of her kitchen!!
A year later it was upstairs in an office with one room,
A year later they had taken over the whole 2nd level!
A couple of years later it was a hugh office block eventually having about 300?? staff.
Im told the company was sold to a french company a couple of years ago?

got a good quote from peter James
it beat my footman james quote
BUT, the peter James cover does not insure me to ride other bikes not registered to me
so that gave Footman James my money

I have also just moved (last month) from footman james to Peter James with cheaper price even after revaluation and can say that the policy states you can ride other bikes not belonging to you.

I asked and was told it wont cover other bikes if you are a trader etc otherwise you are covered

The Government today implemented this uninsured vehicles must be SORNed thing.. they reckon that uninsured accidents add £30 on every premium, so I'm looking forward to paying £30 quid less next year!

Intresting stuff esp C Nash story. And if that is true that they are owned by the frogs well i am out of here!
well it is good news as James will insure my ZXR and with the KH they quoted £97! Bargin as CN wanted £212 from last years £164. So go ol James.
So thanks again chaps. Hopefully i won't be on holiday for the southern shandy drinkers tripple meet and i can buy you a drink!
Cheers
