I had been driving for almost twenty years when I decided to ditch the car and buy a motorbike. I had recently split up with my wife, and out kids were all at university, so I really had no need for a big car, and it seemed like a great way for me to inject a bit of fun into my life.

I managed to sell my car without any problem, and perhaps foolishly I just dove in and bought a pretty powerful bike. I had taken all of the qualifications I needed to be able to ride the bike, but when I rang my insurance company to change the policy over from my old car to my new bike, I was told that there was actually going to be a very large hike in the amount of money I was going to be paying! To be honest with you I thought that my premium would have dropped, and I couldn’t understand the offer. Instead of just accepting the offer, I decided to have a look around online, and see if IU could find some advice about this,

No sooner was I online when I came across a decent looking site called Carole Nash. This was a specialist site specifically for bike insurance, something that I didn’t really realise existed. I rang them up there and then, and I pretty much immediately received a far lower offer. This made more sense, because it was lower than my old car insurance. I don’t know if it was because my old insurance company only really dealt with car insurance, or if they were just as expensive, but the deal through Carole Nash also provided me with far better cover! Thank god I had a look online!
