hi,guys

looks like i,m keeping the trike  ,, summers coming ,, ::) ::)

just been getting insurance quotes,

ended up with adrian flux ,,bikesure,

they dont want to do fully comp,
but came back with a ,third party fire n, theft ,, quote ,, with the normal stuff like legal expenses and hire vehicle covered etc

so what  do you guys recon they  qouted me ,, without any no claims , as i havnt any i can transfer of any other policy ..

jaffa cake or can of pop to the closest guess ,, ::)

About £800. forget the hire vehicle. what's the annual mileage and excess 

5000 miles  no excess mentioned

All policy's carries an excess of some decryption. done both my trike f/c 5000 mile 250 excess recovery

£440.00 no claims for one mirror discount for the other

Mike, Give One Call Insurance a try, and go for 3rd Party only, as, how do you put a price on a self build anyway, unless you go the more expensive agreed price route, you may be surprised! Morrag

cheers, i,ll try them tommorow,

So how much was flux then.

£253.80

but i may pay it monthly unless i get a  better quote

I'm assuming you refused the "extras" the add on like keys, leathers, aa relay, oh what else - can't remember, but it added up to a whole lot for mine.

My trike was insured with bikesure for a long time, they were always expensive but there are so few insurers that do trikes.  Maybe a few more now that trikes are more popular.

If you drop the mileage to 3000 they should do fully comp, they did for me £125 all in.

right i,m doing a bit more shoppin around
one sticking point seams to be the value ???  i recon around £2500

what do you all think ,, should it be more or less ???

one call ===== one waste of time  ::) ::)  i called them and they directed mt to there online quote site  which dosnt recognise a honda cx 500 trike  infact its a useless site  so  i called them again only to get yet another indian sounding call handler  who couldnt help and directed me back to the same page of same site

so i dont think they want my business

Well Mike, I have to speak as I find, and in my dealing with them they have been first class. Their web site is simple to use, and the only telephone operative I have occasion to speak too was a pleasant young Northern girl, who was equally helpful,and they quoted the cheapest price, by far, for my 3 Wheeler, which I have just renewed with an increase over last years quote of only £1.00 still, there you go......Morrag

i,v been thinking and looking around a lot this afternoon,

and i may phone them again tommorow and see if i get a differant operator .

i think i phoned the right people  i got the number of the tin-ter-net

You can insure with them at their Web site without having to phone them Mike, unless you wish too......

i cant find anywhere on there website for trikes  just factory stock bikes , and when i try to  fill that in it wont except  a honda cx 500 trike

its now got me baffled

Looking at reviews on an independent review site, I wouldn't touch them.  Some people say they are good and very helpful, But more have had problems getting their documents, been charged even after the insurance was cancelled, and been charged large sums for small changes.
