Re: Bike Insurance
Many policies include Legal expenses which they state are free, but in reality can add anything between £30 and £70 to the premium. LEI is a wate of space and money and is 90% profit (to the tune of over £200 million) every year to the insurers. You do not need LEI simply because if you have a crash...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?
Out. When we joined the common market back in 72/73, (Many of you are probably too young to remember unlike some of us) the principal was fine from a trading point of view, but over the years con elected politicians have taken away our sovereignty and the £55million a day it costs us to be a member ...

Re: Anyone going to the London Bike show this weekend?
Had a really good day there on Saturday, but it seemed like there were a lot of people missing. A few exhibitors/retailers mentioned that they've put up the prices for stands massively this year and if it's the same next year, they will consider not going. Lots of people on the Triumph stand (as pe...

Re: Anyone going to the London Bike show this weekend?
A tiring 3 days, but enjoyable and good to meet a few people. Today is a de-seize day. 10+ hours a day on your feet takes its toll.

Re: Anyone going to the London Bike show this weekend?
On Saturday. Presumably, you'll be the one who isn't a lycra clad lady? ;) I will be in a polo shirt (I am totally the wrong shape and gender for lycra, apart from which I am told it doesn't half chafe ;) ) and I don't think anyone else will be wearing lycra unless you go over to the cycle show whi...

Re: How to get away with hit and run
A couple of points if I may. In most cases, the Police (and particularly traffic Police) will investigate fully cases like this and then send the case to the CPS, unlike the old days when it got sent to the prosecutions department and the Chief Inspector in charge would determine if more evidence wa...

Re: Feels strange
The change is not through choice, it is all about politics, being lied to and a poisonous atmosphere. Oh, and they breached my contract and decided that because of my health I could manage on 1 day a week with the subsequent drop in salary, even though nobody has ever asked me since I came out of Ho...

Feels strange
After 7 years at my current firm, today is my last day. At a bit of a loose end really as I can't do anything.
Just looking forward to the new challenge ahead.

Re: Car Salesman
I brought my current car new, but before I committed I did the rounds of all the dealers, Mercedes, BMW et al including all the Japanese dealerships, Nissan, Toyota and so on. Anyway, the last two dealers to visit were Vauxhall and Jaguar (At this point I was seriously considering a Saab). Anyway, I...

Re: Cat-D right offs
If you are happy that the bike is sound then there is no problem ith a Cat D other than it is not going to have the value of a non write off bike. It is one of the issues with insurers in that they write bikes off for the silliest of reasons. A freind of mine had a brand new ZZR1200 which was involv...
