New insurance benefits for MZRC members through Footman James

The MZ Riders Club is pleased to announce that it has negotiated a deal with specialist insurance broker, Footman James, securing special insurance discounts for club members.

Not only that, but its classic motorcycle policies include UK and European breakdown cover and motor legal expenses as well as personal injury road rage and bike-jacking cover as standard.

It also offers a range of policy options, including multi-bike, laid-up, agreed value and limited mileage cover.

The MZ Riders Club insurance scheme was designed for classic motorcycles, allowing Footman James to tailor competitive premiums specifically for club members.

All club members will be entitled to discounts on their classic motorcycle insurance through Footman James, and can also take advantage of special rates on their modern motorcycle, classic and modern car and home and contents cover too.

Footman James was launched over 25 years ago as one of the very first insurance brokers dedicated to serving the needs of classic vehicle enthusiasts, and is now a leading name in the industry.

During that time it has built-up a unique relationship with classic vehicle enthusiasts, so much so that its policies now cover more than 200,000 vehicles, including 60,000 motorcycles.

FJ works closely with many classic vehicle clubs across the country, and now, of course, has partnered up with the MZ Riders Club, so has a pretty good idea what classic vehicle owners want when it comes to insurance.

When it comes to home insurance, FJ is just as happy arranging cover for anything from a country estate to a three-bed semi and if you are shopping around for home insurance, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what is covered as standard – for example, motor vehicle accessories and loose parts are included up to the value of £1,000 and this can be extended to £5,000.

In addition, 24/7 Home Assistance is automatically included in every Contents and Buildings insurance policy, so if you incur any damage to plumbing, doors, windows, breakdown of heating or loss of keys, FJ will take care of call-out charges, labour and materials up to an agreed value.

The dedicated team at Footman James’ Cradley Heath offices will be ready to take your call, so contact them on

Webmaster’s Footnote. We will get the same discount as the much much larger VMCC. Use it or lose it. Feedback welcome. The Club got almost £700 in funds from the FJ scheme in 2011 which helps keep Club running costs down. The Webmaster’s FJ premium was £125 cheaper than his previous insurer.
On the telephone, they won’t say “MZ? Who makes them then? Jawa?”
