Yamaha Motorbike Insurance Holders Invited To Join A World Record Attempt
If you own a Yamaha then you're going to need appropriate insurance for it!
There are a number of ways to get the best deals if you spend a little time carrying serving the web for the policies which offer best value for money.
On Sunday 27th June 2010 the Yamaha R1 and R6 Owners Club GB want Yamaha bike riders to help them break the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Parade of Yamaha Motorcycles'. Currently the world record is held by the owners club of Italy with an impressive two hundred and six motorcycles. The new record attempt will be taking place at Gaydon, Warwickshire.
However before you leap onto your machine and hit the road to join in, it is imperative that you have appropriate, current and valid Yamaha motorbike insurance. As bikers are well aware it's illegal to ride on the roads of the UK without the minimum level of third party insurance.
Many bikers worship their machine and those which are used solely for off road purposes may believe that insurance doesn't apply to them. However, according to the law even if you push your bike from your garage across a pedestrian path and onto a public road to load it into a van or onto a trailer you'll need to have the bike insured.
Furthermore it would be a fool hardy rider who doesn't have his or her machine insured whilst its parked up in their garage. Thieves target high end bikes and it's very easy for them to pick one up and put into the back of a transit, the harsh reality is - no insurance, no way to recoup any money.
Putting your motorcycle in a securely locked garage can earn you substantial discounts on your Yamaha motorbike insurance, and the harder you make it for the thieves the better the discounts. But, before you go out and re-invent the wheel so to speak insurers will only give discounts to approved enhanced security measures, which usually means a Thatcham approved anti-theft device. Anchor points installed in your garage is another great deterrent for motorbike thieves, just remember to use them each and every time you garage your bike.
Bikers who ride super-bikes, cruisers and off road machines should know that the chances of their bile being stolen is greatly increased as gangs of thieves target high end machines, with many stealing bikes 'to order' for quick despatch to the Continent where the black market for bikes is rife. Many bikes are also stolen to break down as spares many of which demand a high price especially if they are parts which are hard to come by via the legal route.
Whichever make or model of bike you ride you should always have it insured. There is some very healthy competition within the Yamaha motorbike insurance industry which you can use to your advantage! Tell insurers that you're looking for the best value for money without having to make any compromises on the amount of cover you need.
