G'day all
After much nagging by SWMBO I got looking for some insurance for my GRiSO
I could hardly believe one of the quotes.
Full comprehension, 24/7 road assist, riding gear - $198, so, I jumped onto it
I have been putting it off and taking the risk thinking it would be much, much more
Which company you ask, YOUI
Happy camper

Good deal, Trev. What is your excess and how much is the value of your bike, if you don't mind me asking?

YOUi, subsiduary of Allianz.
Allianz Global Assist is my biggest client, they cover new Harley, BMW and Ducati with 2 years free road side assist, the three most unreliable bikes on the planet, hence, my biggest client.

From my aspect they are great to deal with. Allianz prefer to use motorcycle specific towing contractors wherever possible.

No ill reports yet from crash claims, time will tell.

Mick, check your policy as I think you may only get the first 20k towing free.

Hi Tony
Excess, $660 plus another $1000 if I make a claim in the first 3 months.
I paid $8900 for the bike 13 months ago.
Ghez, as to the tow, to the nearest Guzzi shop.
Cheers

Is there an official Guzzi dealer in Tasmania, or do you get a free overnight ferry ride to the North Island?

I towed a Guzzi yesterday to a non-dealer for YOUi, first 20k is all they covered.

Hi Ghez
I was told to the nearest Guzzi shop, I will check their PDS
There is 2 Guzzi shops in Tas, Hobart and Launceston.

And Shannon's quoted me $996 on the 2014 V7 Special, agreed value. No surprise, I didn't take them up on it.

YOUi
Its amazing the difference a state makes.
I tried them with my Toyota Ute. Garaged In Sydneys East
I am not sure YOUi are part of Allianze as my research suggests they are a South African based company that underwrites their own business. They say this allows them to offer lower premiums as they control their risk etc tec bla bla.
Long story short YOUi is great till you have to deal with them outside paying your premium....As the people at the other end of the phone at the QLD Sunshine Coast call center seem to know little about the product.

Now scorned I shopped around. I am a low risk all my points never had a license cancelled or claimed since the early 90s.
GIO and NRMA beat them hands down by over $100++ and we all know they aren't cheap,
Never again is a long time.

My bikes are with QBE and the cars are with GIO (this year)
Thought I would share the other side of the coin.

I'm paying Shannon's $550 pa for Bella, agreed value $20K.
Don't count fines, lost my license 8 times but Police file has only got 2 of those on computer.
Gotta love stone tablets and chisels from last century.

BTW the YOUi price you are paying in Tasmaniafor your Guzzi is less than my Aprillia scooter valued at $2500.
