VTR insurance quotes
VTR insurance quotes
Hi all
just had my insurance renewal for my bike and got the shock of my life(£186!!)TPFT
After a quick look on the web and a call to my brokers they have now dropped this to £98 inc protected no claims and legal cover, i'm 39 years old so I was wondering what other peeps are getting as insurance quotes as there is a big difference in the two quotes above
My insurance is up for renewal in August so there is still just about enough time for me to keep looking, any ideas?

40 y/o
No no claims on this policy
Bennetts charged me £166 with no excess
Just as an aside. If the bike was to be datatagged or Alpha dotted it would make next to no difference. A cat 1 alarm would make a slightly noticable difference. The biggest effect is from physical security. Check an Abus lock or some other quality lock and a disc lock on the form and it brings it down by over 10%.
Having it kept in a garage makes the cost tumble. Best quote from them tho was on My CBX750 which they do for less than 100 quid!

Noticed you lot talking about "points" with your insurance. Does this refer to your licence? Got me curious how things work over there.
In Queensland (and I think the rest of Oz), we accumulate demerit points at different rates (along with fines) for different offences (although we still talk of "losing" points, which is how things used to work). We can accumulate up to 12 points before losing our licence. The demerit points are taken off three years after the particular offence. 40kpm over the speed limit is (in theory) an automatic loss of licence for (I think) six months along with something like an $800 fine.

If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

Thanks melis. So, the police disagree with your signature line then... My last fine was 105kph in a 60 zone... Oops. Luckily, it was before the new penalties came in. Only lost (gained) 3 points & $250 fine. Now it'd be $800 + loss of licence. Doesn't seem to have slowed me down though...melis wrote:Same deal over here mate. 12 points and you get a ban. My 8 came from doing 97mph in a 70mph limit (5 pts) and doing 35 in a 30!!!
