Now that Spring is here this thread needs a bump.
I got my insurance renewal through in December - another year's NCB free from convictions and my premium for 4 bikes fully comp goes from £205 to £446.
Having checked that it wasn't a typo and that they weren't having a laugh I found out that NIG had withdrawn from the market and Allianz, the new BMW scheme insurer, had put the rates up.
Shopping around - Carole Nash etc. - produced only higher quotes.
The main driver on the premium was the S1000RR as the highest rated bike.
I fancied a change and part ex'ed the S1000 and my 6 year old K1200S for this:
a new K1300S HP. Picked it up from Cotswold yesterday and rode it to Daventry to have Venture Shield fitted - a protective film which protects against stone chips very effectively - and then back home. 155 miles of nice riding.
This will be doing some trips to the Continent this year.
Who else has been out on their bike so far?
