    My first bike was a Honda VFR800. I also got a Harley FatBoy few months later. Sold both when I moved from London when I retired 20 years ago.

    Wow! That is some collection, but I wouldn’t know where to start.

    I'd be inclined to forget about it, life is too short. But I guess that is what these companies rely on. £2 is a bit of an insult.

    They will get their own back on you in spades when they realise you conned them.

    Presumably you can then claim this back off your insurance or not?
  6. mikestrivens
    Not if you turn the bike upside down

    Google "motorcycle breakdown cover" . There are hundreds of options for all sorts of different prices.

    European breakdown cover is covered by my insurance with Carol Nash. Maybe your insurance has cover included. If not go for a reputable company, e.g. AA, RAC, Green Flag. No idea of cost as mine was included.

    Wow that is some bike. Enjoy. I used to have a Fatboy when I lived down south over 20 years ago - great for posing.

    Looks like you were pretty lucky not to go down that cliff.

    And he has a van full of gear and support following him everywhere so doesn't have to carry anything himself.

    Is that a stuck link in the chain?
  15. mikestrivens
    yes all my motorcycle clothes shrunk in the wardrobe and cost me a fortune to buy all new.

    I use https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk for much of my stuff or pop in to my local J&S store.

    You can get camping fuel containers for stoves from outdoor shops, e.g.: https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/trangia-fuel-bottle-1l-D3252023.html?colour=180 That might meet your needs.

    It's the new roundabout alongside the Redrock in Stockport, it was where you come off and go under the A6 . It's all been resurfaced, which it did need but it's a bit slippy now . OK thanks. I use that one occasionally as well. Good info.

    [mention]Westbeef[/mention] as you and I are in the same area which roundabout is it? Just so i can be careful.

    Jolly good. Enjoy the experience.

    yes the roads are so crowded that driving a car is a bit of a chore, but they are really the only way to carry lots of stuff around.
  22. mikestrivens
    he lasted as long as five minutes, wow!!!
  23. mikestrivens
    who?
  24. mikestrivens
    Yes I find that I often take a longer route to wherever I'm going just for the fun of being on a bike.
  25. mikestrivens
    great news, well done. Now you can really enjoy biking.
