Insurance declined because of address differences

I recently aquired insurance through Motorcycle direct. I was asked to send my driving licence in for validation. On doing so the insurance company are now refusing to insure the bike as the address on my D Licence is different to that of where the bike will be kept.

I keep the bike always at my parents address with my Father's as we ride together (he has a bike also) and the bike is registered at their address also. Apparantly the insurance wont cover me due to this. Why?

Is it legal for insurance brokers to charge more if you say you may take passengers on a motorbike? Car drivers are not charged more or even asked the question.
