I was referring to the part of the post that stated the OP thought that having a good amount of NCD on her car insurance would help in securing a low first bike insurance quote. 
 

I know, I was being sarcastic, just highlighting insurance companies live by there own rules…

 

I changed from job from one where I didn’t need a driving licence had not sat any test for 25+ years. Had had points on and off my licence in that time.
 

To one where I need my driving licence with work restrictions on the number of points I am allowed (I was surprised it was clean when I applied for the job).  I also had to do additional advanced driving qualifications.

When I notified my insurance company about my new job qualifications my insurance went up.

When looking at new vehicles now I also look at insurance simultaneously.

Yeah I see what you mean. I was talking to my partner about a metal bike shed for the front that we can lock up. Maybe getting one without a base and cementing in anchors inside it would be a good idea

Be careful describing it as “garaged” for insurance. I have seen some insurers defining a garage as “ brick or concrete construction with solid concrete base”.

To be honest I think il just get the quotes saying its kept on private property. I guess that's what a front garden would come under?

When I first insured my car and bike - I added my OH to the insurance.. in both cases it lowered my insurance (as he had no claims and years of experience..) 

It might help!
