Re: What do you want to vent about today?

Tbh I hate ringing for insurance so much it's enough to make you stay as is and never change.

Bascially if you have a multi bike policy with modified bikes be prepared to spend at least a full day of your time every year sorting stuff out.

Re: Shopping list advice

... it's being serviced and get the garage to do it while it's there. Which then raises the question of whether I should get it serviced now, or next year (it's not going to get much use over winter, is there any point in servicing it to have it sit in the garage)???

Do it now before they ramp up their prices haha!!

Re: Marco Simoncelli's number 58 retired from MotoGP

Agree. They do that in baseball for different reasons, but the sentiment remains similar.

They also do sommit once a year where everyone wears the same number...similar to what they did after MM passed.

Forget the number.
