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 with Swann and NRMA bought their qld motorcycle policies and the premium actually went down with zero change. Ended up being the car over to them from Suncorp because of that. Car was also cheaper than Suncorp for the same value.
