  1. Way to much. If I was paying that, it would have a full compliment of greedy boards. We moved over to Grab waggons £280 + VAT - 10 tonnes. I think your location might have something to do with it too.
  2. I was doing the same, many years ago, my wife purchased a used BMW GS for my birthday, this was shortly after I recovered from my previous crash.
  3. I was out on New Years Day - A nice ride around the Lancashire Countryside, Keis Heated Gillet and Heated Gloves - it was a warm and toasty ride.
  4. There used to be a cracking chippy that we used to stop at on the way up north, Palombo's Chippy of Balloch. I think it has changed hands now though.
  5. Yes, it would put me off. Cat C is now referred to as cat S, structural damage. Be weary, what was the damage and how was it repaired and by whom. My old new bike was a Cat N, nothing structural but cosmetically too costly to repair (or so the lying B@stards at 4th Dimension told me) Its now back on the road. But that's another story.
  6. All the very best to the good folk on here A little late I know. Cant say its the best start of the year, wife's uncle died today. Tomorrow I will be resigning from my current position to venture into somewhere new.
  7. My Wife bought me the Keis heated gloves (she knew I had been looking for weeks) I opted for gloves instead of heated grips. On New years day, I went out for a ride, over towards Knowl Hill in Lancashire, a mixture of wind and rain, the gloves worked a treat. I also had the Keis heated Gillet, warm and toasty. I would say, if you need them, buy them. Edit: we searched for sales and discounts, none to be had so took the plunge and bought them.
  8. I'll be like we're off to the RFU party this evening for a couple of scoops
  9. I have taken a Ukulele with me, but we were in the Van
  10. Long before Smart phones and the ability to use Booking dot com on the fly, we would start looking for accommodation around 4pm, just rock up and ask, never fails.
  11. Nice bike. I hope it brings you plenty of enjoyment. I've never owned a Trumpet 800, so I cant add anything constructive, apart from, two riding pals have them and like them
  12. Took the bike out for an hour today, just to try the Keis Heated Gloves. Short trip out to Lymm Dam, back over Warburton Toll Bridge, crossing over the Manchester ship canal, through Glazebury and home. Could believe how toasty and warm these things are. Will leave cleaning the bike until next year
  13. Just book the outgoing and return crossings, either chunnel or ferry. I'll decide closer to the date where I will be going and whether or not to camp or book accommodation. Phone and Sat nav, no laptop/media pad or action cameras. Always travel as light as possible. I have the Crit air sticker, but that's about it.
  14. Off to watch the Lancashire Royals V Anti Assassins RFU A short walk to the ground and a couple of scoops while there
  15. That sounds like a mighty fine machine . I have something similar, but its the Toyota but only 3.0 V6. I had LPG fitted, so runs on both petrol and gas
  16. I had a CBR600F4, absolutely brilliant bike, toured around the alps in 2006. Probably one of the best bikes I've owned, although second to my R1.
  17. Connected the optimate today, not been out on the bike since the beginning of October.
