Insurance

Almost time to do the Meerkat Shuffle and check potential premiums for the next year.

I don't just do "Compare the Market" aka Meerkats but also "MCN Compare".  With a start date of 27/6 I've not had long to get any premiums to check. They only quote 30 days in advance of renewal.
Currently I am insured with Just Motorcycle Insurance, their address is the same as Carole Nash in Altrincham.


I've not a renewal through yet but on the comparison sites JMI has disappeared from both.  Instead Carole Nash Select has turned up. Same deal as JMI? 


I was with Carole Nash for many years and their policies come with included breakdown cover whereas the Select doesn't.


But Select is basically very cheap with plenty of add-ons like the breakdown cover. With a car and Claire having a car we already have cover for them too.


I emailed JMI and mentioned that they had gone off the comparison sites to see what they say and what my renewal is going to be!



Compare the Market
Last year I paid about £108. Could this be true?


Update June 7th 2019


After an exchange of emails and Messenger interactions I managed to get JMI not to auto-renew my policy.


I decided not to wait for the new MasterCard month and bought the Select policy above.  All done in ten minutes and the paperwork printed. Now need to wait until the end of the current policy for my NCB confirmation to arrive.

Crappy Finish

Have to say disappointed with the finish on my 15 Roadster. Not really an all weather rider nowadays.  Wheels are corroded and look like shit and the chrome bits and bobs all surface rusted. Have always washed down after a salty road outing. The TEX I had before had its recall problems but the finish far more robust. Never had these problems so soon even on a modern Suzuki! It doesn't seem like the wheels are coated, just bare metal by th level of corrosion.  The surface rust blights the suspension caps and even the chrome cover for the rear brake master cylinder looks more like rust with some chrome. At least the engine finish looks good.

Don't Ride Angry

Never ride angry. It leads to mistakes. For some unknown reason people in England have this urge to travel. That's not a problem. What is the problem is that no sooner has the final bell of the summer term/semester rung,  like lemmings they are in their cars and motorhomes  (RV) and heading on their summer holiday. Why? Most kids won't be back in their classrooms until September 6th or even 7th!! To coincide with this exodus, small 'e' as the waves don't part for them , after some terrorist activity in France (not to mention our vote to leave the European Union) the French boeufed up their ridiculously slap dash border control. Traffic was queued back on the M20 for about 15 miles. Three lanes and then two.... The A2 into the port two lanes for about 7 miles. Add to that both roads closed due to the inevitable accidents and a rare truck fire, and you have CHAOS. People trapped for upto 14 hours.  It later turned out that ...
