I stand corrected and it's clearly a value for money product.
£113 fully comp for a day. So for all intents and purposes you're still right.

Bikesure definitely offer it but call it short term insurance as opposed to temporary insurance.

It's not very cost efficient though, a day is the price of a third of my annual premium.

They're multibike policy is good as well but their £25 'admin charge' to do absolutely anything is a bit annoying.

A question.
What do i tell the insurance company when i phone to cancel.
Do i have to pretend ive decided to sorn it or can i be up front and say i only needed a weeks insurance and this was the cheapest way?

I suggest you tell them this is what an insurance expert said was the only way to get temporary insurance cover! biggrin


As you don't have to tell them anything and you have every right to cancel, I would say the most you might want to say is that your circumstances have changed.

Why not tell them the truth? you needed cover to test a bike you no longer want to buy therefore have no need for the policy?

Take a man up pill you jesse!

You rode my 'blade and it's not going to be THAT much more powerful. A bike is a bike.


I rode my first bike (GSX600F) home from Liverpool, in February (with ice at the sellers house it was that cold) at gone 10pm when the most powerful thing I had ridden was a 125. I only died 3 times so I'm sure you'll be fine.
