im sure this has been asked but just joined & cnt find my way around here yet..
just got new 450 so looking for a good/cheap insurer to insure it in the uk
Hi, Insurers, what a bunch of snotty nosed, moronic, useless, pea brained, barstiards they are!
Cos it was end of November 08 when i wanted insurance for the berg. nobody would recognise it as 09 model and not on the ABI list.
Eight insurers would not insure me, one i nearly got by saying it was 09 fe550 reg 08 for £120 until the end when i said its 570 though , not 550 and he said no. One said ' a hooseybog what?, 'its chinese, we dont insure chinese'
Went back to Carole Nash who i have been with for years ' we love bikes and we love offroad' and they said its not on the list but well insure you as new business and only charge you double the premium you paid last yearwith us for a brand new ktm 530'.
Jeez , 'thanks you fooking vankers, how do you work that out'?
Well, ' the 525 was on the list last year'
ME: 'it was a 530 actually'
CN: 'its got 525 here, you should not have done that you werent covered'
ME: 'actually , its a 510 in cc.
CN: 'What'?
ME; It was a 520, then a 525, then a 530, but they are all the same and all 510cc'
CN:'mmm. anyway Do you wish to pay for the Husaberg fe570 which we are recognising for you but is not on the list so that will be £300 please'.
ME:'For insurance purposes its a friggin bike with two wheels and an engine in the same category as husky 510, ktm 530, aprilia 550, whats the problem?
CN: If you could read the long number across your card please.
ME: Yes, Yes, 'Thank you so phurqing much for knowing all about bikes !
Oh sorry fakesy i forgot you were there, rant over.
Phone Carol Nash and Bennetts for a quote as its probably ok now we are in 09.
First go to compare themarket . com and supermarket and see if the fe450 is on their list.
Dont forget to post your bike sags when you have done them on this site.
Cheers,
Nick
