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.

Ring of Red 2015

Decided to go to Thurrock and join there. Arrived about 1230 after a petrol stop on the way. Pepe does about 180 to the tank before I start to get nervous. So as it clipped up 115 on the odometer I decided to fill up to ensure I had enough to get to the start and join the ride. It is easily 60 miles home from here. Doing the maths convinced me to tank up. Even in misty drizzly weather sitting in a large column of bikes is hot business, once the fan kicks in. We were on the road and the M25 just before the allotted hour. Well done to the marshals in the absence of the local police service.  The photographer, former SOC member and Kent Centre Sec, Roger Wood, for the run from Thurrock stood atop the van belonging to  one of the charities we were supporting. I had cable tied one of the Ride of Remembrance car-flags to the sissy bar but sadly I didn't get enough wind to fly whilst  stopped.
