The UK economy seems to rely on selling baked air to gullible customers - no wonder we don't manage to come out of recession [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]
I have been with CN for 13 years now - reasonable premiums with low rises, excellent extras and very helpful when you need them. I can't be bothered to move just to maybe save a few tenners on the few thousands that you spend on owning and riding a bike.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree. I get an annual phone call from Adelaide Insurance as I am a member of the IAM. thay are supposed to be cheaper and give better cover but when the breakdown and legal cover was added they were £100 dearer last year and I am now awaiting their quote tonight fo this year.
I have just come off the CN site and the quote I got was £33 cheaper with Zenith Insurance but with a £450 excess and no voluntary excess against my renewal with Equity Red Star and £250 excess. I know they pay out having had total loss with them with the claim being dealt with fairly and efficiently so depending on Adelaide's quote tonight I will stay where I am.
The thing to remember is you only know how good an insurer is when a claim is made and if you have have a good experience then it is worth the few extra pounds.
