My Insurance Just Doubled

[DJP]

Not that I blame the insurance companies at all.

All the 'ped thefts in London are pushing the premiums through the roof.

And apparently if I knock off commuting cover (into Londonistan) I could get covered for a similar price to last year. (Which isn't much use to me since that's a large part of what I use the bike for).

So it looks like us proper bikers are paying the price for the 'ped boys (and the Met's reluctance to deal with them).

Sad times.

I just paid £98 to insure my FZ1 fully comp, I wouldn't mind too much if it doubled

So you do not mind paying more for crime and refusal of the authorities to deal with it. Interesting approach.

What are you on about? In fact, don't bother.

After the attempted theft of mine, my insurance has quadrupled!

I just had to cancel mine after 7 months as they refused to cover my new bike. They wanted to charge me £35 so I agreed to knock it off the refund. There was no refund (please look on page 17 of the policy document) but they did agree to waive the cancellation fee. Thieves.
