Just had another 'chat' with Carole Nash. They say that the £111 is a justifiable increase based on the difference in value between the two bikes. The additional £30 is to cover their administration costs. I disagree so I will be parting ways with Carole at next renewal. The Insurance company my policy is with is 'West Bay' so beware if you're with the same firm. I think the first name of the guy I spoke to was Robin.........
Just had a look on 'Meerkat' and Carole Nash is now rank no.16, behind all the usual firms, some offering insurance at about half the price. They obviously don't want my business.

Rang up to add another bike to my policy and recorded message says press 1 for policy with 4 bikes or less and 2 for policies with 4 or more bikes , Simple you may think so i press 1 as i had just 4 bikes. Young female answers with how can i help ? I would like to add another bike to my policy please. Hmm sorry cant do that 4 is the maximum you can have , we will have to cancel that policy and start a new 5 or more policy there  will be a £45 admin fee to cancel sir . i says i dont want to cancel its you who needs to cancel i am not paying anything i have just renewed the policy end of September having been with you 15 plus years.  Hmm you will have to start a new separate policy for the additional bike, have you any NO CLAIMS to transfer , ? no i says , ok Awsome she says we can do that for £245 .....Are you taking the *** i says , i payed £220 for 4 bikes and you want £245 for 1 bike .....we will be looking to transfer to another company if thats the case.
