Just quoted me £144.31 for the BMW and Ducati, with 8 year's protected NCB. I'm astounded.
ahem. I did more miles in June / July / August / Sept. on the Ducati than the previous owner did in the last 3 years. Was out on it last weekend, too.
Yes, that'll be because it spent most of the last three years purely going back and forth to the blokes local bike mechanics? By the time you'd dragged it out and put all your clobber on, wouldn't it have just been quicker to walk down to get the papers?

The bikes on policy one are covered by Groupama - and they are on the MID The bikes on policy two are covered by Equity Red Star - and they ain't on the MID Time for another phone call to CN. It looks like I did the right thing by insuring the latest project with another broker.
Last time I was searching for a Motor Trade policy ERS came up as the cheapest, but my broker - a chap who I actually trust - informed me that ERS are an ok company but there are major issues with them and the MID. With the company I'm with now I can send a text with the vehicle reg and "ON" and that is all I need to do to put a vehicle on the MID database. ERS don't do that, and don't seem to like putting things on the MID more often than not. I don't know why, I haven't had a non-trade insurance policy for years, but it was enough to make me spend an extra few quid and give ERS a swerve. Not being on the MID causes far more trouble than its worth. -- Pete M - OMF#9 BMW 325i SE Touring Range Rover V8 Turbo Escort Diesel Van (Woo, stylish) "Wait!
