Result ! !

Had the dreaded renewal through from Motor Direct for the princely sum of £252. Which I thought was reasonable.
But then I thought why not have a ring round just to see what else is on offer.
Went through The Bike Insurer who advertise on here, and they got it down to £104 fully comp with £250 excess.

Well chuffed with that for the price of a phone call !

It just shows it's worth a couple of calls

Strangely enough my K1600 Exclusive bike insurance was £40 cheaper than last year but the Mazda 2.2 Diesel car insurance came through wanting over £100 more this year ..... er no so I did a search with those rugrats and got it much cheaper than last year with Zenith.
I rang just on the off chance if they would match and after much button pressing the answer was "no", I wouldn't mind but it was probably the same underwriter too.
