    Point of order: most call centre scripts and terms/conditions will
    contain, somewhere, the words 'failure to disclose any other relevant
    information...'. I'd be really surprised if you hadnt had that read out
    at some point.

    Conversely, it's the only sort of Harley I'd be interested in riding.
    I used to quite like Gyp's.

    A big burd of my acquaintance did her DAS with Ace - on the recco of a
    big bloke of my acquaintance, he being into the whole H-D lifestyle
    thing, down to the colours on his cutoff, the Road Captain scrolls on
    his jacket(1) and the industrial-sized drums of Solvol in his garage.

    She passed DAS without any apparent problems, went out immediately and
    bought a bike - an 883 Sportster from the nearest Harley boutique.

    So I wouldn't rely on the aversion succeeding.


    1. His missus has a horse called Harley, FFS.

    I cant, and neither will the sales droid, and therein lies the problem.

    I haven't spoken to anyone - merely had a letter through the post
    informing me what the renewal will be - there's no mention of anything
    like "farilure to disclose" yadda yadda yadda anywhere in it.

    Which I think reinforces Andy's position.

    Yea, fine, until you actually need them to pay out on something, and the
    ins co decline because, for instance, (from Aviva) in "Your duty of
    disclosure " - "any facts that may influence the insurer’s decision to
    accept and pay a valid claim are disclosed." They will argue (and have
    done in the past) that cant ask every customer every possible question
    blah blah.

    I'm not defending the position, just pointing out that it exists, and its
    a major source of complaint from customers who feel they have been
    screwed over by claims departments.

    But if he's got nothing to compare it with other than the 125 he rode for
    the CBT......

    My wife said that she would buy me a Harley if she ever got enough money. I
    asked her why she wanted a divorce.

    Rusted and ropy.
    Dog-eared old copy.
    Vintage and classic,
    or just plain Jurassic:
    all words to describe me.

    Well I don't really care if it does work. In fact, it would be almost
    funny as he'll be almost the exemplar of a mid-life crisis biker.

    Oh ****. My missus has a horse called Harley. Mined ewe, it's a broken
    down 32 year old nag, so the name's appropriate.

    Providing he doesn't let his pillion wrap her legs around his rib cage,
    he ought to be OK.

    But if the time comes when you need to make another claim, I suspect they'll
    make an issue out of it.

    Anything you suspect will affect the premium.

    It's simple, and you know it.
