the new - what have you done to your ped today thread.

good job Kid.
Next time I have all the plastics off I am going to coat the white pieces with black Rhino Liner.
It looks cool on a truck, it should look cool on a scooter.

 

Currently looking to insure my zip again, since mce fucked me about too much..

£495 is my best quote

 

Swinton quoted me just short of £3000, fk me

 

I've just been doing them online mainly, will I get a better quote ringing them about it?

Always done them online

 

Filled all the holes in my standard air box where it's cracked. Now it's running like a pile of poo. Bonus though it's got a 17.5mm carb on rather than the 12 I was expecting to find.

 

I FIXED THE BAG OF POO NRG

 

im paying £180 a year full comp with swinton on my scooter and £300 a year fully comp on my Yamaha yzf125r with modifications, always had friendly call centre staff talking to me, always English call centre too - no james from Mumbai or wherever most call centres are. had my car insured with them too and im getting my next car - a 2010 Vauxhall corsa 1.4 insured for £1035 third party fire and theft as a 19 year old. how are my quotes so low and everyone elses so high ?!?

 

Na, that aint low, £62.14 on the zip, fully comp, £105 on the 1100, fully comp, and £304 on the pick-up......fully comp.
Thats low.

 

IM with swintons on the "chunky".£130 tpo.have to pop in to the Chatham branch when i get back..
just reminded me i gotta cancel them re-issuing me a policy till i know what bike im riding...or if it works out,maybe multi-bike.

 

So, what makes the insurance drop so much for you guys?

 

all my bikes are datatagged as soon as I get them. I use good locks. I keep them parked off the road, scooters and bikes are now kept in a locked shed, I have trackers hidden in my scooter and my bike. I have points on my licence so that makes it a little higher but hunt around - call up places and say so and so company gave me this quote whats the best you could do, when it comes to renewal, hunt around every year, if your current insurance company cant beat anyone else, switch to the cheapest. no claims is everything. I now have a years no claims. that has helped a lot. I live in a good area too - im moving but to another OK area. it all contributes, I also have a full car licence.

for those old farts its their age + stevep will be his security. you cant get anywhere near his house without you seeing him. I hate him. I could of had a decent bike by now if he didn't have that sort of security

 

having some form of FULL license helps along with being old gits..where you live and what you hit if you got in shit.cheap bike hitting a Ferrari ain't cheap .i hit an Xjs a few years back on my bros 125,gave a dodgy name and scarpered.not insured.if its a newish bike,they think your more likely to ride it and look after it so insurance is sometimes cheaper..worth looking about.88 vision £70-£80 fully comp,Bennetts..£130 tpo swintons.
