An online quote on one of the money saving sites was £513 fully comp with only a milage restriction. I called directline to see if they could compete, £1050 was the best they could do......
How the foc does that work
Bollox to that mileage restriction deal, that reminds me of the one where they fit a black box tracker and monitor you constantly in your car, i'm not sure if they do it on bikes yet though?.
I got that one year for a mate of mine and the restrictions are a joke, they stitch you up from all sides, and if you consider a 2nd year what they did with him was make the total mileage of his first years driving the upper limit for the next year. Problem is, he was deliberately taking it easy the first year so as not to exceed his given limit.
Then they charged him to remove the tracker when he complained about it.
I fully understand this would be your own fault, but if i remember correctly there was a clause that if you "accidently" exceed 100mph, the tracker clocks it and you become uninsured as your policy instantly gets cancelled!
FOC that.
