Motorbike Insurance... there 'avin a giraffe!!

My renewal is up in just over a month, so I'm doing a few online quotes (as you do) to gauge how much it will be...
Now, last year I paid the grand total of £87 with Bennetts for cover on my CG, having just done my CBT. Only TPFT mind, but was upto 6000 miles, and covered the panniers too. Worth noting I'm 27, been driving since 2000, no accidents or claims on either bike or car since ever, and currently have 6 points. SP50 in 2005, and SP30 in 2007), so its not like I can blame it on getting points or anything else between now and then.
Now, 12 months down the line, I have 1 years NCB on the Bike... Quotes are ranging from £110+, and thats without adding the Panniers in!! With them, prices sky rocket (and I'm not joking here) going upto £10009!!!!!
Bennetts are even quoting online £148 now...
Bloody ridiculous!! I can't wait to see what the actual renewal cost is when the letter arrives... I know they always try it on when it comes to renewal (my car insurance is usually always £300 more than quotes elsewhere)
Just to show, here is the £10009 quote...
madness!!!!
