@Six30 paying them to go for a ride in the back of your van for their services is not classed as a customer

Been out looking for my first big bike, but finding insurance such a scam!

I don’t get insurance … sorted insurance for new bike yesterday .

for Suzuki policy which started in may it was £350 ish , thought  I’m going to get stung adding the Ducati , they mirrored the bikes so I could use no claims on both bikes ,  got £200 refund from Suzuki policy and then for both bikes on a new policy price was £440 with the £200 refund cost me £240.

I did couple of years back changing bikes mid way through , it was cheaper to cancel policy and start again with different company , won’t say which company I cancelled with incase they stop paying you

I don't think some insurance brokers even understand insurance

Would of cost more due to the oversized decal cover probably.....

I got what I thought was a sensible quote on a 2017 Tracer 700, look at a 2018 for the same value and the quote almost doubled! Same model, same engine, same power, same value.... work that out if you can!

Measured the shadow and made a template for new saddlebags.

Then, because I am riding tomorrow, went to check the tyres pressure.

Found that I have a puncture on the rear.

No biggie, got the diy plugs and got to work.

Made an arse of myself and managed to fully insert the plug into the tyre and remove the plunger without the plug.

Then had to go to the garage to get the puncture repaired properly  and spend 20 quid.

Got home with the repaired tyre. cleaned the brake drum and the axle. all cleaned up and fitted together.

Rear pressure to the point.

Front tyre, was a little but on the low side so got it to the correct pressure to find out 2 big cracks on the wall of the tyre 

Means a new tyre to be ordered and hoping that tomorrow won't get into problems.

That's the result of the bike being years without running and now with a good mileage on the tyres gave up..

Wiped the dust off, fuelled up and set off to “The Pilots Mess” at Sywell airfield.

Good food and a view over the airfield whilst it was consumed.

Worth a run out.
