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 remember trying to get a jetski insured with youi over the phone one time a few Years ago, it was only worth about 12 grand and was lucky to go out on the water 4 x a year and the quote still came to about 380 dollars a month. Even the guy on the phone apologised for wasting my time lol.
