Reeeesult!!!

My day has started well

First my insurance renewal arrived, £122 fully comp, £60 less than last
year. Yesssss!

Then I was booked in at NE Motorcycles for the MOT, and she passed
without a hitch. Not bad considering I've hardly done a thing to it in
over a year.

Me's a happy chappy today.

Good for you.

I must be using the wrong insurance company I pay lots more than that,
or maybe I'm just a bad risk. Who's your company, must give them a
bell.

I've just renewed on the VFR for well over £100 less than last year -
and this was with 3 extra points, too.

£248FC. I'm happy with that.

Unfortunately, the extra 3 points mean I'm going to be caned on my cage
insurance. Bastards.

 

Not bad.

Fucking hell, that's more than our cage is with two claims in a year
(both not our fault though)!

You can always change it!

 

Heh. I think it's quite good - looking at the value of the bike and the
cost of repairs even in a minor spill.

I've tried shopping around - my renewal is nearly 600 quid, cheapest
I've found so far is £400.

Katie insures the 156 for £280, ffs!

 

And of course you're younger than me ;-)

Mind you, last year was the first FC I had, and that was only £160.

'kin 'ell.

 

Aye, you old bastard ;-)

Thing is, your FJ is older, cheaper and has less plastic than a VFR800.

I nearly fell off my chair when confused.com came back with that. And
that's with me as named driver.

That's true I guess. Then again, Yamaha bikes do seem to be more cheaply
made than Hondas!

Confused is a damned good site, I used it to get a list of cheaper
quotes, and then I went directly to a select few based on my experience
of dealing with them at work.

 

I only pay 75 quid more to insure a GSXR1000 FC.

 

Strangely, a 9R is cheaper to insure than the VFR. I put it down to the
cost of Honda plastics.

I put it down to the fact that mainly blind gimmers buy VFRs, YMMV
though.

 

What's your excuse for not having one, then

They diagnosed my eyesight problem. Once they'd rectified it I traded up
from a VFR750K through other bikes to a much better sports tourer called
a ZX9-R, and then crosssed to the dark side and bought a Gixer Thou.
