Insurance Minefield
Chaps - I have just after much deliberation and two nights on the web insured with Bennetts after my last company (Footman James) now only insure classics or similar. After much playing on the compare sites the choice came down to companies which were either too expensive or too dodgy i.e.when you read the small print on line and ring up to query, they wanted �12.50 just to take a phone booking as I dared to ask questions. So back to Bennetts (�139 fully comp @ 47 years old) - they limit you to three modifications in my case a screen & top box but I could not get the girl to understand what Touratech handguards were and gave up (she said they must be heated grips!). I would love to dabble about with and end can and play about with filters etc but this would put me over the limit.
So my question to all of you who modify bikes - who do you insure with as again I have found most companies don't like to insure modified bikes but the mags & sites are full of them - or do you not let on and hope for the best in the case of a claim???
Cheers Daveb
