NBT: Sexy red beast has been bought and heading my way!

Those excesses must be something to do with the previous theft/recovery bike as i have never had compulsory excesses like that on any bike policy. The Motor Insurance Database shares all information between the insurance companies.

Like KFB i set mine to 0 and the max i have had on any compulsory ones are about 2-300 quid

Associated to what though? I used his post code and picked a random house, using my name.

But I wouldn't think their site would know all historical info?

I have protected NCD, does anyone else have that? Also moto legal protection but that's only about £30.

Yes.


Requote with a different name and 3 doors away?

Thanks everyone.

My only thought is when the bike was recovered even though there wasnt a theft claim the police may have informed the insurance company of the recovery as part of the crime report conclusion and that theft/recovery is linked to Tiepins data ....dunno, just strange the costs are so high

[MyLittleStudPony]

Fuck me, look at the excesses!

I usually set the voluntary to £0 for doing quotes and if the compulsory is over £250 they can jog on!

Don't worry about all that excess bollocks. Get third party only and register it on a Q plate.

[Supermofo]

Those quotes won't be high cos of protected NCB. My bike is insured for £8k, 2020 bike, 4k miles a year inc commuting and protected NCB, in Hertford and it was £140 this year. I have £0 voluntary, £250 compulsory excess I think.

Those quotes do seem really high, especially as Weeksy gets such a different result at your place

Your commuting mileage is probably too high.

Don't know what your door to door distance is, but when I was doing 55 miles each way virtually all year the annual mileage came out at around 23,000 (iirc).


If I remember correctly the calc was something like 5 days of journeys, over 48 weeks (allows for holidays) = 48* (5*110) = 26400, and then take off a month or two for winter. (I sometimes trained it in the depths of winter)

I'll look at it later but I do 60 miles a day, 4 days a week. I get quite a bit of annual leave though (6 working weeks minimum) and certain days we get off on top of that as well. My mileage might not be as high as I think and clearly dropping it down 2k makes a difference...

Looks like it might be worth at least estimating it, and then adding a small amount on for weekend riding.

60mile * 4day * 46weeks = 11040miles. Add on a few thousand for weekends and I@d estimate your mileage at 15k a year tops, so your 12k (is that what you reckoned?) isn't far off actually.

Dropped the 60 mile a day commute with 6 weeks holiday and no private mileage into here https://comcar.co.uk/amc/ and it comes out at 11008. So the 12k a year is needed.

Work from home or retire, owning a Hypermotard is more important than commuting, if you haven't got a garage for it, keep it in the front room.

If I didn't commute, I wouldn't have it. I have no use for a motorbike as a toy.

Bike arrives Friday. I just found out we're puppy sitting my sisters pup, which means I am as I'm the one working from home. We're out Saturday daytime and have people over for a roast dinner on Sunday. Monday I'm (hopefully) riding to work on the Tmax so the buyer can collect from my work. Good job its raining or I might be pissed off at the lack of opportunity to ride my new bike!

And yet, you've bought the most toy-like of all motorbikes.

TBH I bought it thinking that, but now i'mnot so sure. Look at BigYin and the mileages he does on a Ducati as a workhorse. And, to my surprise, there's a lot of high mileage Ducatis out there!

For me, the motard version will be easier to manage round town and i've always said the best commuters are motards or scoots. So all in all I reckon this could see August before being sold. Okay. July. Oh FFS you're right, may or June!

You're dead to me

This lot arrived before the bike! I'm sort of stuck in doors a bit over the weekend, so am tempted to fit the end can and fuel adjuster, but then i won't know what, if anything, its improved? i suppose i should ride it for a bit first?

That would seem logical.

Yeah but i'm impatient and want Ducati brapppy noises!

That personalised plate must be worth something.
