Tested on a phone app db meter and there is no real increase, but will be interesting to see how loud they are on the road. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231011/4b6521e90705a55624693f8cee9bd441.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231011/93ad5c48eeb5fa5127d75b9f1f8523bb.jpg ...

... we have it and the insurance should cover that. In the words of Tony, You are fully comp and the bike is a month old, they should pay the on the road price and don't accept anything less.

Re: Road Tax Rip Off
