    And not mine for once.

    Bloke on the project I'm on ATM. Must be mid forties plus, if not mid
    fifties.

    Stereotypical mid life crisis. He's getting divorced and has decided he
    wants to ride a bike.

    Specifically a Harley.

    So he's just taken his CBT, and is going to do DAS with the aim of
    spending about 4-5k on a Sportster.

    Any guesses on what his insurance is going to be? :D

    Prace bets now. I'll reveal the answer when I find out....

    Surprisingly cheap if SO is anything to go by. She did DAS a few weeks
    ago, & a 'test quote' on my 955 Tiger was under 200 quid.

    He's OK. But he won't listen about bikes.

    my current re-quote for FC on the combined policy for the ZX12R and
    LC4 is £294, which I don't think is bad, given that it's in London,
    and the bikes aren't garaged.

    Even my insurance was moderately sensible this year. Think it's the
    first time in living memory I've paid less than a grand to insure both
    bikes and the car.

    These guys do DAS on Sportsters, according to the website:
    http://www.aceridertraining.co.uk
    That might put him off....

    Do they know you've got a claim going through after the theft of your
    car?

    I'd have thought that if they got wind of the fact that you've already
    had one vehicle nicked they'd crank up your bike premium.

    post-editing is the last resort of a scoundrel. Well done.

    That's the important part. You can't be accused of failing to divulge
    information if they don't ask.
