Thank god for that - Someone has replied! I was starting to think the content was not of interest to any of you.

The reason I posted the thread was that whilst playing around with Moneysupermarket.com, I found the quotes were nearly always different each time I went online using EXACTLY the same information.

How can this be right? We are clearly being ripped off here.

The lesson here - Get your quote and then start editing it in your favour.

I managed to decrease the compulsory excess (from £250 to only £100), increase my estimated annual mileage (from 3,000 to 10,000) and add pillion cover for absolutely NIL increase in yearly policy cost.

I managed to get a full year fully comprehensive cover from Bennett's for only £63. Not only did I save money, I also managed to vastly increase the level of cover for NIL additional cost.

If you don't believe me - simply have a play yourself. Don't use your real name or address / phone if you hate junk mail (as I do) and unsolicited marketing calls. Instead make a name up and pick a nearby address. The rest of the data can be real. If you do this you won't be plagued with junk mail from the insurance company providing the quotes...

Surely this is of interest to those of you who use similar online insurance sites?

I was rather hoping that more of you XT nuts might consider posting the cost of your insurance so that others will know if they are being ripped off. All you need do is state age, bike, no claims and finally the cost.

I'm convinced many of us ARE indeed paying too much for our bike insurance.
