Feck me that is good, then!
Is it garaged? Most companies seem to be doing massive discounts if your bike is garaged... unfortunately, mine isn't...

hope youve checked your policy document then - most companies either say
- excess doubled if stolen from home address
- not covered if stolen from home address at any time
or any permutation of that.
OTOH, I pay £117 FC, protected NCB, 1 named rider, £150 excess on a 2004 Gixxer 600

Yes, and all it takes is to send someone out and see you don't have a garage... Unless you say that was stolen, too?
Mine's kept on a private driveway off the road. Every policy I've taken out has stated that if I'm at home the bike HAS to be parked on the driveway, and if I leave it at the top of the driveway and it gets stolen then I'm fkd!

yer but at the end of the day the bikes not worth a lot so if it did get nicked i probably wouldnt be making a claim anyway as it would cost me more in the long run, e,g more expensive premiums etc
