    Annual Insurance Rant

    well well well... I called BeMoto last Monday and had no problem getting through to talk to someone (unlike others' experiences it appears). I noticed that the values of my bikes hadn't been adjusted since last year, so we had a chat about lowering them a little and a couple of other things...

    Recent upgrade

    If you've tried and it fails it may be that the picture size is too large... I wanted to post a picture I took today but I can't because it's 4mb... I'll have to reduce it when I get back home. You may need to store the picture somewhere online and post the link to it. I see that you're a...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    Sorry, one more rant - the APR for paying monthly (which I never do) is c. 42% for most insurers, absolute c***s. It's 'only' 20 for home ins, WTF?

    Annual Insurance Rant

    So, partly in desperation, I called BMW/Devitts again today...twice. First time it sounded like the same halfwit from Friday, so hung up and rejoined the queue... ended up speaking to friendly, competent lady...who gave me an unappealing quote. So, I'm staying with BeMoto... yikes... Bikesure...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    Whilst waiting...for 35 mins+ on the BMW flex CAR insurance chat, i decided to see what BMW Motorrad Insurance could do for my bikes. I therefore went here: https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/finance/insurance/multi-bike-insurance.html It tells you that BMW do multi-bike insurance (I knew that...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    Often wondered that myself - perhaps another year without an accident is just a year closer to having one... It is soul destroying, esp when it's so difficult to compare two quotes with all their additions. The government is thinking of going after the airlines for that, maybe insurance will...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    Well... as you know i had a big accident 2 years ago, and last years renewal was pretty much the same price as the previous year... maybe insurance was just really cheap last year and I just didn't benefit from a dip in prices... I can only say I was very relieved at the time, lol Just found...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    Mat Armstrong mentioned in one of his YT vids that they are big target for thieves atm (he was looking round one in an auction yard that had had all its tags removed - so he couldn't put it back on the road) Just chatted with IAM, had a moan at the price. They say the average increase is 40%...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    My ...immaculate :-) ... 6yo 430 has gone from 460 to 885!! Or 10 payments of 104... so >16% interest. Comparison sites telling me 677... with motorbike claim declared.. ...and I've just realised that the letter header says that 'your current insurer, KGM Motor Insurance, do not wish to offer...

    Annual Insurance Rant

    so it starts.... at the end of September my car insurance is due, and about a week later the bikes need insured. Not sure what to expect re bikes because a few members have posted here about BeMoto losing some underwriters, with bad things happening to quotes, but I'll deal with that when the...

    Do TST rear lights pass an MOT?

    I have the high number plate bracket, so i'll be ok.. indeed, my bike is a 21 so i don't even need to worry about the MOT til next year, it was just the chat at the weekend got me thinking. re reflector, that'll get fitted next year in time for the MOT. My Gen 2 had a reflector stuck on it by...

    That's my dealer too, so good start :-) Will be interesting to see if everyone has the same experience

    Do TST rear lights pass an MOT?

    Like many I have put TST lights on my bike. I have never been too sure that they are strictly legal, but I asked some policemen at the bike show and they weren't bovvered at all. There must be loads of bikes that have been MOTd with them by now and I haven't seen anyone complain, but I was at...

    Cheap Pillion Seat

    Hey Steve, things have started to get a lot better thanks, which is why I am asking about this - off to Anglesey for Jamie Whit day next month. I have ordered a cheap rear seat, as the Gen 4 is a totally different size/shape. It should arrive tomorrow. I was at Cadwell last month and I saw a few...

    What have you bought for the K67?

    Re: What have you bought for the gen4? The instructions are a YouTube video. Simple to follow, but annoying to check things.
