Bennetts motorcycle insurance now classes locked shipping containers, metal sheds and wooden sheds on a concrete base (it can still have a wooden floor) as garaged. This doesn't change any previous policies, and simply makes things better for people who don't have a garage.

@s7jrx132 3 жыл бұрын

Is it only concrete? If I placed a shed on top of tar driveway would this still be classed as a garage?

Well, that's enough to get me asking Bennet's for a quote at renewal. My bike's in a quality shed with heavy locking doors, round the back of the house, down a closed footpath, behind locked gates with PIR floodlights, big fences and overlooked from bedroom. Current insurer classes mine as on drive!

Its easier to cut the frame then repair it later. Also you may have overlooked window bars to prevent breaking out the windows. Also driveway alarms directed at your shed/garage work great at night to wake you if your sleeping. Lastly hardwired cameras that cover the property might catch details of the theft should it happen like clothing, facial features or potential vehicle descriptions. Ask me how I know this. I was a victim too! That's why I use a metal shed with double nutted bolts instead of screws!

I all ways throw in a few random turns when I'm nearly home, a few left and rights to see if I'm been followed. At my previous house I didn't keep the bike there, I would get home put it in the back then later on remove it to my mums. The shed in the back had a CHAD on the wall saying " WOT NO BIKE". 😂 This was due to me working away all week and my mum being at home with two dogs that barked at a sparrows fart.

If you're thinking of going with a shed but have to go with a wooden floor. Get a large sheet of chequer plate the size of you bike and screw it to the floor where your bike will be. Then drill through it and the wooden floor for a ground anchor and get a large steel plate that will fit between the floor joists, 1ft x 1ft is a good size, and drill that to match (you will have to plan this out before you start). Then sandwich the floor with the ground anchor and chequer plate on the inside and the steel plate underneath, use the bolts that came with the anchor with nuts under the bottom of the plate, once tight, smash the threads over that are sticking out of the nuts with a hammer so they can't be undone. With your bike sat on the chequer plate and all locked up it's a big job to rip anything up, weak point will be the chain, so as good as into a solid floor.

Build a bollard if you rent and use shared parking/named space. Get a barrel, drill a hole through it and fit a big waste pvc tube through it. Fill the barrel with scrap iron and concrete. Let it set. Use the hole through the bollard as the anchor point, pass your chain through the bollard and attach your bike. Its not immovable, or permanent but its going to be a pain in the arse to lift for anyone interested and force a cut. Its stable enough to remain in-situ when you're away and when it comes time to leave, get a bunch of mates and a piece of wood through the hole or rent a small excavator to lift it and move it to your new place in the moving van.

Had an attempted theft last year. They removed the fence panel and weren't bothered by the expensive Ring cameras. The multiple locks on the Asgard shed didn't put them off either. What did send them on their way was a cheap £8 alarm padlock. They poked it once to test it and it gave a warning chirp. They gave it another poke, the alarm went off and they left. It's all well and good having loads of expensive locks and chains on the inside but you want to put them off breaking in and it seems that an exterior alarm works very well 👍

After burglers stole my bike i had my blacksmith install a vintage bulky lock and weld it inside the steel door, from the outside you only see a black big keyhole and the key is huge and when you lock and unlock it you need both hands and great force and you can hear the steel spring bangs loudly with every turn. in our neighbourhood everyone installed this door lock and no burglar in the world no matter how skillful he is can pick this lock. it's handmade and every lock has a unique key with unpredictable pattern. it's also impossible to make a masterkey for it. i wish you can see it. burglars are intimidated when they come across it and no one tries to temper with it cuz they know it's a waste of time. also the garage is concrete and the doors are heavy duty steel from the 70's when they used to make doors with heavy steel.

Some good advice but one thing I noticed was when chainingth ebike up he let the chain sit on the floor. Never do this, it helps the crooks get a solid base to work on it. Wrap excess chain around the frame so it doesn't reach down to the floor. Also don't put chain through wheel if you can get it through the frame, wheels come off.

Here's a tip if you are unable to fit a ground anchor for any reason. Buy yourself a cheap plastic gardening trug, fill it full of concrete and set the ground anchor in the concrete. Cut handles off the trug. You can now chain your bike to something that weighs a ton and is a right bugger to move, preferably stuck behind where you havevthe bike so they can't even get to it to try and shift it. Just make it a complete pain in the arse for them and they are likely to move on to the idiot that makes it easy.

Now I'm just sitting here wishing Bennetts insured outside of the UK T_T

@Dave_D 3 жыл бұрын

I live in a dodgy part of town with no garage. Druggies walk down the path next to my house where they do do their dealing in the carpark. Not ideal for parking my bike. I asked my insurance company about keeping my bike at my cousin’s house, who lives in a quiet cul de sac full of retired folk and curtain twitchers, and in his garage. They (NOT Bennets btw!) still wanted to charge me more. Crazy.

Ok so help me if you can…my bike is at the side of my house (semi detached)there’s a 5 ft fence between me and neighbors house where to have a car that’s always there so you couldn’t left my bike over cos of there car.bike has 4 locks from chains to disk locks u locks and kept under cover.also my car is kept on the drive so you can’t get the bike past the car..the driveway has two double gates always closed..plus a big dog that barks at the slightest noise and have cctv..but you can never explain all this to an insurance quote..I do have a garage but it’s not on my property it’s just down the rd..but my bike is much safer where it is..

The problem underwriters will have there is that they'd be basing it on the car being there, which can't be guaranteed like a wall or secure door.

@@bennettsbikesocial even if the car wasn’t there on my drive there’s still a gate at the side of house only a 5ft wooden one buys locked and secure..and if neighbors car isn’t there there’s a 5 ft wooden fence..there just never seems a way of listing all the locks scurrying the bike plus the cctv etc…I know if they wanted to steal it not much would stop them but like you said it’s about making it as hard as possible..

@@Imabiker This is something I've seen crop up once before - it is really tricky. Motorcycle insurance is a small part of the insurance industry, so affecting change is very hard as the underwriters will focus on the things that have the most impact to them. Insurance is also based on known quantities and risk of course, so it can be very difficult to quantify something outside of 'the norm.' You're doing all the right things to protect your bike by the sounds of it, but if there's any way of getting a shed into that space, it'd be the difference the underwriters would be looking for.

Most of the houses around here have multiple steps leading to the front doors. Its just not possible to get the bike in and out.

@Cole No, I mean we have STEPS. As in getting up to your front door from the sidewalk is a workout lol. Most of them are pretty steep or in a right angle to the sidewalk so getting a motorcycle in and out wouldn't be feasible.

@Cole Do you know how to reply to someone with out being a jerkoff? I sure wasn't being a dick when I replied to your comment. I don't understand the needless hostility. Maybe YOU need to re-read my comment. Getting a bike up two or three steps is doable. Going up two flights of stairs off the sidewalk is not.
