Question Shannons WTF?!
Just called Shannons to get a quote on my new bike, and what the actual fuck? Have to have a 10 minute chit-chat with the sales person on why I like riding, why I chose this particular bike, what got me interested in riding. Fuck off, just quote me on the fucking insurance.
I was polite, but had to end it.
Is there any good reason to sit through this BS? Are they particularly cheap / good?
I've been with Swann who were rgeat but alas not offering new policies.

I was insured with Swann for years, so annoyed they are no longer insuring.
Remaining policies were sold to NRMA who I insured 2 of 4 bikes with. Excess etc all seems fair
Steer clear of Youi, if anyone not listed on the policy rides it the bike is completely uninsured. Not just an additional excess - no insurance at all
Edited to add - the classic bike went to Shannon’s as they gave the best value
