newbie insurance question

About to purchase first big bike (looking like a 2000 TransAlp 650). I
thought it would be simple case of phoning up current insurer and
taking out additional policy, but apparently NCD can only be used on
one vehicle at a time.

Is there no way around this? My PX125 only costs £90 a year to insure
atm (4 years NCD), but this will go up to £200 or so if I transfer the
NCD to the Transalp.

How do you guys with 3 or more bikes in your sigs manage it, building
up from zero each time?

TIA

Will

Multi Bike policy.
When I buy or sell a bike I just phone the AA to add or remove a bike,
usually costs me about 30 quid ammendment fee.

 

Thanks everyone. My underwriter (KGM) don't work Saturdays, so have to
wait until Monday to find out if this is possible.

I'm 10 months into my 5th year of NCD too, which I would lose if I
don't tick with same underwriter according to the broker.

So no riding this weekend

Broker? Do they still exist?

 

Yes, my bikes are with Carole Nash and the car is Footman James. Judging
by the adverts on the television I believe Direct Line is quite busy.

 

Indeed - my bikes are through Carole Nash and the car through the AA
(who always announce that their web quotes take a little time as they
scan through their "extensive panel of insurers").

However, if you mean the little scruffy office off the High Street,
entered through an obscure-glazed door, down (or up) step(s) and once
inside, are powerfully odourifically evocative of a bygone age of
ledgers and quill pens, of mahogany panelling and cigarettes burning in
ashtrays, where the signwritten legend across the glazing to the door
might as well read "Private Investigator" as "Insurance Services" ...
yes, they're still about. These days there's not so much of the smoke
and there's computers as well as dusty tomes, but I popped in to get a
quote from the lusciously lovely Lisa, as lascivious a lass as you
could imagine perched on a spindly swivel chair, breasts bulging
through the neckline of her slightly-too-tight cardigan, suspender
bumps apparent through her slightly-too-tight skirt. She's lovely, but
too expensive for a man of my means.

 

My ex Lisa worked for a broker and everything you describe is her to a
tee... except for the breasts - Lisa was/is an A cup.

 

This Lisa is archetypal blowsy barmaid material, IYKWIM - but not in a
bad way. Her cups are quite a way through the alphabet, and even then
they runneth over.

 

You seem to be more Malcolm Pryce than Raymond Chandler.
Don't give up the day job.

 

But doesn't NCD transfer like it does with a car? I've swapped cage inscos
in the past and had no problem transfering my NCD, ditto when I change cars.
