Hullo!

sorry to hear bout your insurance mate! what about the company that insures your bike, if they do cars as well couldn't they do some sort of no claims discount.... :undecided:

i found just searching internet the best way to get a cheap quote, i had to insure me and other half on a GTI without any no claims discount plus he's under 25..... found a good one in the end!  :laugh:
