Chinese Scooter madness
There have been a plethora of new makes and models of moped and scooter in recent years, the vast majority from China. In fact the influx is so rapid that many motorcycle insurance companies are unable to keep up, as the bikes often aren’t listed in the UK lists of make and model that are usually used to calculate your insurance premium.
Bikesure doesn’t work like that. Our long experience with insuring custom bikes, trikes and rare classics means we quote for each and every bike on its own individual merits. This means we are one of the few companies able to cover every road-legal model of scooter, no matter how unusual or new to the market. So give us a try for Chinese Scooter Insurance.
Now if only someone could do something about the “Chinglish” slogans that the manufacturers write on their bikes…
“Shen Yang – The New Generational Scooter Fron Earth”
“No One In the World Can Be My Best Partner Except the Dio – New Generation”

Crazy Custom

Now that’s what I’m talking about!
The first thing I think of when I hear the word “custom” is something that is unusual, a one off. Now when it comes to custom bikes they appear in all shapes and sizes. The finished article is usually a fair reflection of the person who built it.
If I was [...]

This is a summary of my more detailed post on Friday, outlining the key points.
The DfT surveyed traffic in June and July.
They waited until September to ensure no late corrections to the data.

At this point the DfT checked [...]

That was the quote from the coroner after the unfortunate passing of a 71 year old man who, according to the coroners verdict, literally died of excitement whilst riding his motorbike for the first time.
Full Story at BBC…
You’re probably wondering what kind of adrenaline-pumped machine he was riding that excited him to the extent that [...]
Bikesure Staff do CBT
about 3 years ago - View Comments
Unlike many bike insurance companies, many of our staff are enthusiastic bikers, who like nothing more than a good ride out and are far happier on two wheels than four. So when we hire staff who aren’t already bikers, we feel we have to do our bit and help them get bitten by the biking [...]

If you thought the slogans on the bikes were funny, wait till you read the owners manual, like the one that comes with the Qingqi scooter (and yes that really is pronounced “kinky”!)
The opening sentences give you a flavour of what’s to come:
Read the rest of the manual at the Chinglish Files. And if you’ve [...]
Luckiest biker in the world?

Remember the SMIDSY post we did previously? The guy driving this car also did a SMIDSTRL (Sorry mate I didn’t see the red light).
The guy on the bike might just be the luckiest guy in the world. If you get into a scrape you want to be wearing a high quality helmet and protective clothing. [...]
Gordon Bennetts! – Insurance Babes, real and otherwise
about 3 years ago - View Comments
The latest issue of the Insurance Times has an interesting feature on the so called Bennetts “Babes”.
Usually Bennetts employ wannabe glamour models, who may look attractive in the right light, but generally know as much about insurance as I do about morris dancing. It seems that Bennetts have realised that having someone from the [...]
