The VFR800 is chain driven. The VFR1200 is shaft driven. But chain is not such a problem with something like a Scottoiler.

oh dear. hope you are ok.

All on DVLA website. First you have to apply for registration then apply for V5 logbook.

article in MCN this week about this sort of problem

And that's before you add comms to it.

Or loosening/tightening an oil plug with the incorrect tool

It’s implicit in above but ride for yourself not the group.

hello and welcome

From that picture it looks like you were going up hill, in which case the white car should have given way, see Highway Code rule 155.

Mine still are

I’d never leave mine on my bike. It’s too expensive to replace.

Well done [mention]gsijay[/mention] now the learning really starts.

The instructions on the tin will tell you what you need to do. But there seems little point in putting it in the expansion tank if the leak is in the radiator.

So you've swapped boring commentary for dreadful musak. I'm going off this channel very quickly.

Kriega bags are "reassuringly expensive"... very well made and the 20L bag will also become a holdall or a backpack. But I mainly bought them for the ability to get them quickly on and off the bike if commuting. I can see how your solution works well for a bit of touring. I'm currently trying to decide between the Motech Blaze saddle bags and the Kriega US 20L + US 10L. As you say, the Kriega are easy to get on and off the bike, and the 20+10L would also provide three different options in terms of volume (10, 20 and 30L). Expensive, but tempting nonetheless. I've got the Kreiga bags (one 20ltr and two 10 ltrs) to supplement the top box on my Tiger. I highly recommend them but as [mention]raesewell[/mention] says they are not as secure as hard boxes, but are much more versatile.

The birds nest of wiring detracts from the table making skills

maybe China via eBay. Or keep the other side as a spare for when you drop it on that side.

pop rivet and strip of metal either side of break.

Hello and welcome. As above go and sit on them and test ride if possible.

Hello and welcome [mention]jordanr22[/mention] . I'd get the CBT certificate ASAP and then speak to the insurance company. They may take pity on you and give you some payout but don't bank on it. As others have said you are not insured to ride the bike but the insurance company are unlikely to tell the police and in any case the police will only do something if they catch you riding it. As you are not going to ride it until you have your new CBT they have no reason to get involved, unless they also ask to see your CBT as part of dealing with the theft, pretty unlikely as you obviously weren't riding it when it was stolen. Ownership of bike without a CBT certificate is perfectly OK and is clearly different to riding it without CBT. Good luck with this.

Interesting place Stoney Cove. Spent many happy days there scuba diving and teaching others to scuba dive. Parking can be a nightmare though.

Well done [mention]Stubber[/mention]

The neighbours will be thrilled

Insurance companies will use any reason to not pay out and will employ a professional engineer to scrutinise the bike to assess whether it is as stated in the insurance documents. It really isn’t worth lying about whether a restriction is fitted or not.
