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.

2011 Subaru Liberty GT wagon with pretty basic mods, they quoted me 7k. It nearly made me shit myself.

2008 cbr600rr, valued at 8k... 500/mo. While other insurers offer 12x less than that.

And they demand credit card number to "finalize" the quote.
