Novel concept bike
I seem to recall that a Swiss firm came out with a similar concept a few years ago using a K100 Beemer engine. It was featured on Top Gear and got some good reviews. I quite like the concept as an alternative to conventional 2 wheels https://www.facebook.com/GIGadgets.Fans/videos/1018770194868936/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED" ...

Re: Insurance renewal time
The power of social media. I had a rant on twitter about them. One of the team leaders called me. We've got my £40 broker fee from the last change fee refunded and got the policy reduced to a price close to last years with extras.

Goretex boots
My TCX S-R1 boots have given up. The zip has gone on them. They've done me proud for 3 years having been worn pretty much every day since I've had them. So any recommendations for replacements? I'm tempted with their replacements https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/216831" ...
