Think that's it! And no it doesn't really get wet, although saying that I am determined to ride down to the Euro Kat meet in Bordeaux on it so if it rains it rains!

Interesting that you got it through Footman James, I've had two policies with them for the last three years (one for the Motorbike and another which has four classic scooters ). Recently they sent me a letter saying it transferring the policies to another company BikeInsure (or something like that) which included a nice hike in premiums. Upshot is that i've now changed all my policies, scooters are with Allstyles (underwritten by Equity Red Star) and the Bandit is with Bennetts. Big savings but going through all the paperwork again is a chore.

Although you have insured your suzuki with an agreed value this is only if the whole bike is pinched, if any of the aftermarket parts get robbed they will only replace with a standard stock item... One of my scooters has about £3.5K of trick engine, gas shocks, disc brakes etc so my choice is either insure it with every individual part insured which bumps the premium another £100 ish or just never let the bike out of my sight. This is not the same as declaring what modifications have been done to the bike btw, that just has to be done to stop the feckers wriggling out of a claim!
