Those quotes do seem really high, especially as Weeksy gets such a different result at your place
Ended up at £549.43 with around £470 to come back off the Tmax policy when it sells. I went over all my details with them and everything is correct. So I guess i'll swallow it for this year and just shop around at renewal time. A bit miffed by it all tbh?

I had similar when I swapped over the old Tiger for the new one. Policy cost me £170 for the year, so with 2 months remaining I called to change the policy over to the new bike. They wanted another £122 for the remaining two months. In fairness to Bennett's, the guy I was speaking to was equally surprised and advised me to go shop around and find a new policy elsewhere as it would probably be cheaper in total. His price, just for indication, on a new policy starting that day, was £550 a year.

I shopped around and got a new policy cheaper, but my eyes still watered at paying £300 for a year's insurance (although it is with legal cover and kit as added extras).

I suppose insurance isn't immune to inflationary pressures.

That's Hayden. I was instructing. I specifically told him, once you've clipped the apex, loft it and cog it up again and wheelie the whole straight. Then drop two and skip the back wheel motard stylee into the chicane. He couldn't do it. That was take 51. I called him a useless twat and went home...

That's not very nice, not that he'll mind, what with being dead and that.

FWIW I'm not even sure who is, let alone if he's dead or alive!

It could be worse,when I bought my Street Triple I had planned on getting the train to the Triumph dealer & riding home on a sunny early spring day...
The 'Beast from the East' altered that plan,my mate Rob,a carpet fitter was called into action & the bike was collected with the aid of his carpet bus :D

My Sister is here in floods of tears as her other half has been taking into hospital with heart problems and of course she can't go and see him, so she comes to me when she's upset. Wont be much Ducating this weekend even if it does turn up! I'm wondering if will it turn up? Very late to make a delivery if they still have to get back to Macclesfield??

Doesnt show that well,but the strap is white so its the Italian flag colours. I looked and it didn't have a db killer in it,so its straight through. :shock: Went down the bin and got the box out to check in case i'd missed it and found a bag with a little push in catalytic converter looking thing. Phew! :D
