Diavel.......wtf...insurance Nightmare!!

  1. Coming up for insurance renewal and can't get quotes on my Diavel! (even extortionate ones) :sob:

    Have done a few mods to my 2016 Diavel Carbon inc colour change (to yellow), rear set change, Ohlins rear shock, Remus end can. Approx £4k spend on mods.

    I have a friend who has offered his secured and alarmed garage (approx 1.5miles away from my home) as a place to keep the bike. At my home I can only offer the bike outdoor parking in my drive which clearly is just asking for trouble....even if covered. Used purely for social purposes.

    I have 10 years NCB (and SP30 points x 3 from 2017) and despite security on the bike listed below...the whole arrangement still not good enough for a quote!

    * Ducati Alarm/Immoboliser
    * Datatool Trackking
    * Datatag
    * Pragmasis Protector 19mm chain & Squire Lock
    * Rear disc lock.

    Any suggestions (other than sell the bike) would be most appreciated.:thinkingface:

    Tks!

    My 899 is pretty far from standard and they were spot on.
    All parts will bee replaced like for like in the unfortunate event of a claim

  8. Keeping the bike at another location to where you live is a big no no for underwriters. No idea why but had the same issue with my girlfriends Diavel despite a tracker, bikeloc and secure alarmed garage. Andy

  9. It's so sad that Bananaman has turned to crime, presumably this happened following the downward spiral of drink and drugs after his show got cancelled?

  10. I would think there is no chance of theft, but every chance someone will be so offended by it that they'll drop by and set fire to it! Perhaps that's what's concerning potential insurers?

  15. Wow....leaves you with plenty of beer money!:beer:
    3 things against me that is making my insurance the same price as high octane:
    * Located in East London :eek:
    * Using a lock up garage away from my house. o_O
    * 6 points :imp:

    Plus wasn't able to even get a quote from a raft of other insurers...so very much a case of "beggars can't be choosers".
