Swann/QBE/Aurora insurance

[Yards]

Thanks for the info. I had a YZF1000 ThunderAce over 10 years ago that rolled off the side stand in my driveway. Cost $3,000 to put it back together. ($300 was just the Yamaha decal) and I lost my no claim bonus for 2 years.

Received my renewal from QBE for the Bus recently. $1040 for market value. Went into the local bike shop for a Swann quote, $1500+ for agreed value of 15K. He suggested I ring NRMA. They wanted $1700+ for 15K AV. Another salesman then gave me a pamphlet for Aurora, and underwriting agency for IC Friths. Marketed as "Affordable insurance designed for experienced riders 25 to 39 years". She asked how much I wished to insure for, I replied, "how much will you let me?" $17800 is our starting rate she replies. How much absolute top value. $20k.

I ask her for the two premiums. $756 for the 17.8k and $843 for the 20k. She ended up doing $799 for the 20k.

800 bills is still a heap of doe, but I reckon you could do that much damage and more just rolling off the side stand. An '01 Busa insured for 20k, mad not to me thinks.

Anyone interested in Aurora, 1800 649 797, they even pay for the call. Sydney based company. If you speak to Carmel, tell her Dave from Harrington Park said she has to do a great deal, or I'll skitch Col and Glenn onto her.
