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.

Cup of Tea - Continued

The best laid plans of mice and men.  Unfortunately there is a balancing act to be done as a married man with a dog. I sometimes envy people that on a whim, tog up, and then go for a ride all day on their expensive motorcycle. My brother for instance.  He regularly plans trips with a mate that take three or four weeks in the summer before the school holidays make hotels and accommodation too expensive. I can't do that. So when "real life" gets in the way, then the bike trips have to take a back seat.  Don't get me wrong.  I like going out in the car with wife and dog to places of interest or just to the White Cliffs for a cake and coffee and walk with Reggie. But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo

Czech Invader Rally 2022?

Looking to next year for what maybe a jolly-boys trip to the Czech Invader Rally or what might end up a Billy No-Mates trip. I have been to five previous Czech Invaders but only once when I rode there completely alone. I did that in 1992 on my DR800SL. It's not something I would do again. Not in one hit. When I arrived I could hardly get off the bike I was so stiff for sitting in one place for hour upon hour. Those were all held at the same "rally-inn" in  Chudčice  near Brno. The last one I did was way back in 2004 with Claire as pillion. The BMW GS wasn't well received - not being a Suzuki! BMW at Rally. There is no way I'll be on the Kettle. At 37mpg it will cost a kidney to ride the 1700 mile round trip. So Pepé will need to be the bike of choice. If only I had cruise control as well to help with the saving of fuel. If I am to go over as a solo traveller I will stay in Youth Hostels. After all I will be an old age pensioner by then. We did that way back in 199
