Re: What do you want to vent about today?

Fair point I can imagine a write off is quite easy.

Surprised with the price though. Old codger, clean lience and 12 years NCB. Bike garaged.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?

I do wonder how the insurance system works and I've been involved with it for the last 15 years.

Replacement parts and the prospect of being written off are said to be two key factors for the new Ducatis. By all accounts they don't crash very well.

Re: Kawasaki Inspection Systems

Enjoy is a strong word... I merely put up with it! ;) To be honest, the role I'm in is not where I see myself in 5 years but I understand I am only a few rungs up the ladder and my legs aren't long enough to take me straight to the top. I'll work my way up, probably make a few sideways ...

Re: Opinions/experience on aged tyres

... involved and you should inspect for cracks etc as signs of aging. Saying that I think they did make a recommendation that replacing tyres when 10 years old if for no other reason than age would be there advice. If they are in good condition and still feel soft I can't see why there not worth a ...

... both a late 2008 batch.

ABS, traction control, 2 rider modes, 10,000 mile service intervals, 2 years manufacturers warranty, and the standard cans sound really good. It's a used bike, 931 miles on it. The previous owner bought it while waiting ...

Re: £4bn to renovate the Houses of Parliament
