insurance without having to sell a kidney first

[Chris Harrison]

Any advice on insuring my new bike. Its my latest pride and joy and the cheapest quote I can find is £550 ! . I could insure a Ducatti Monster for less than this. The odd thing is that the quotes I have had only ask my postcode when the main risk , I would have thought, is having it stolen or wreaking it and that would be far from home.

greenbeei'm about to switch to them, it was less than your quote for total household contents plus up to 20 grand cover away from home for bikes and other valuablesi heard m&s are ok too

NFU Personally.   Covered new bike on the house insurance for only a few bob.

Hiscox have recently increased their excess to £250 - which means (in my opinion) that they take very little risk and make it less likely that you will claim - thus removing the benefit of insurance cover to a large extent. Shop around.

If I remember rightly these guys http://www.eta.co.uk were bloody cheap and also coverwise and stuff that goes with it was pretty hard to beat when I was shopping around.
