Car Insurance

QuoteAbike is a new online insurance division of the Allen & Allen Group. The e-commerce business trades as a newly formed limited company called QuoteA Limited.

The roots of the group go back to 1968 when Dennis Allen started to transact business from his home in Twickenham. Tony Allen, the Group’s Chief Executive, joined his father in 1971, and the company began trading as Allen & Allen in 1975.

Young drivers and high premiums were targeted initially, moving into the standard market in recent years. Being amongst the first intermediaries to promote telesales, the Allen & Allen Group has fought off the challenges from ‘direct’ insurers and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Companies included in the group are Allen & Allen, (the parent company), Hyperformance, Prestige, Hyperformance Ltd and Centurion. Over the years the Allen & Allen Group has developed outstanding relationships with a large number of UK insurer’s and Lloyds syndicates. This means that we are able to negotiate the most competitive premiums available in the market place, without being tied to specific products or insurers.

The latest craze worldwide is purchasing and racing Pocket Bikes. However, this can be very dangerous to the inexperienced rider. These bikes are not toys and should never be underestimated. The bikes that are more powerful and expensive are strictly built for experienced adult riders, not children looking for a joyride. These bikes are built sleek and fast for racing. They have power of 9.5 hp or 12+ hp -these models are definitely suggested for professional racers only. Due the incredible power to weight ratio, if you have no previous experience with these bikes, take safety precautions and educate yourself about their operation before riding.

As for places to race these bikes, there are many options and locations from which to choose. You could choose to become a member of a bike league. These leagues hold races in various locations such as speedways, go-kart tracks, or closed parking lots. The leagues can also assist you in finding other safe and legal places to ride outside of race time. If for some reason you are unable to find a league in your immediate region, you may look inside your local yellow pages or on the Internet for further assistance. Here are a few tips that may help you in case you are still having trouble locating assistance or a league: Find a clear open area that allows for pocket bikes at high speeds, ensure there are no obstacles or obstructions that could result in injury, and also be sure to steer clear of public roads and pedestrian-heavy areas.

ÂÂ

Be sure to obtain copies of any laws and regulations you will need to observe in the area you plan on racing in. You should be able to locate or obtain these from the local library or law enforcement offices in your area.
