Have you tried Carole Nash? They usually beat Bennetts hands down.

The quote you mention sounds suspiciously cheap - I was quoted about
?100 more by Bennetts recently for a CB500 - no NCD, but no claims
history, add 10 years to age.

License and am a delivery driver (whether this counts in my favour I don't

stupid)

Looks like I'm going to have to try and get a bit older/ more
experienced/ more garaged/ less in London.

BTW is that the Rock Face in Brum you work at? I used to climb there
occasionally with the Uni club.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Well I'm nearly 33, I've had my licence just short of 9 years, I've got
a garage and I live about as little in London as you can.

While sheep rustling is a problem up my way they don't do many bikes.

 > BTW is that the Rock Face in Brum you work at?

Um no, I work for a large computer consultancy firm. If I found a job
at a climbing wall that was paying in the region of 50K PA then I'd take
it like a shot.

 > I used to climb there
 > occasionally with the Uni club.

Never been there. When I lived in the Midlands I used to climb at
Warwick Uni wall or Markfield Quarry in the summer.

Got a UKRMRM? Want one?

My renewal premium with NU Direct is £240.00 FC, 1yrs NCD.
I phoned Bennets last night, and they can do it for £100 less, even with the
race end can.

Much cheapness
