Insurance recommendatioons

[Laverdaroo]

Hi all,
'The Long Haired General' is looking for insurance on 'Chewy' her 400 but having not insured anything this old or modified for a very long time I wondered if any of you on here have  had any good bad, cheap or expensive scenarios when insuring your own bikes recently (12months) and possibly suggest any good companies to approach?

Any help greatly received and with any luck, should have her scootching around the lanes in no time.


Cheers in advance

Swinton. I've just renewed 2 of my old Hondas and they work out about £60 each, fully comp. I don't have cover for any frills though, no helmet / leather cover, or key cover etc. Graham had 2 up for renewal last week, his were only £50 each.

I was with swinton but they didnt like the bike being in restoration so went to one call, insurance was cheap but there was a "broker fee" that bumped it a bit.
First choice would be to ask whoever you are with to me sometimes loyalty works

Thought that yesterday Bryan, called them, left on hold for 45mins and totally hacked off with the customer portal so I gave tyem a crapm review. They emailed me tonight and arranged to call me in the morning.

That said, tried Swinton earlier and so far they are £324.00 cheaper than rhe nearest quote!
fully comp with no excess and no NCD- £100.36!

Adrian flux couldnt even foind the bike on the data base and the big companies are Really expensive. I cant put it on my insurance as the bikes in her name as only the second owner and Im not transfering the docs over, its  not worth it.

The 100 sounds reasonable in todays market mateespecially with no ncd

I'm with Peter James - my 400 & 500 fully comprehensive for £163.57, my previous NCB had lapsed, I'm quite happy with the price, my age will count against me at 76, assured value on the 400, when the 500 is finished I will up the value cover.

We have our old Merc insured as a classic with rhsspecialistinsurance.co.uk better cover & cheaper than when we were with Direct Line as well as being an agreed value policy. They do motorcycles as well presumably with restricted mileage.

I'm with Peter James, I get the VMCC member discount, ten bikes, unlimited mileage, from a 1939 Triumph to my modern bike, an '87 VFR750, £299.
