What a great link. A real trip down memory lane as this is an example of my first bike (a secondhand CZ175, on which I learnt to not apply the rear brake going round a corner in the wet!)...

Hope you feel better and can leave CCU soon Enoch. ATB Jon

Back to animal strikes....I was hit on the shoulder by a pigeon - the main thing I remember was the incredible shower of feathers I saw in the mirror - it looked like a pillow had burst!
The...
My wife was quite happy to ride pillion on a dodgy 125 on dodgy Greek roads (covered in sand and pebbles) but resolutely refused to go near any of my properly maintained bikes in this country.

You make it all sound so easy Dave! Looking forward to seeing the results on due course. ATB Jon

Top advice - I got written confirmation from my insurer when simply fitting handlebar risers to my Hayabusa.

But would you need to inform your insurance company? Isn't there normally a presumption that all modifications should be notified, whether or not there is a subsequent alteration in premium?
Rather surprisingly, my car insurer, LV, were the best I found for my Hayabusa. I think I was with Hastings for my bikes beforehand - Suzukis of 1250cc and 750cc and Yam of 1000cc - all under...
You need my fundraiser offer of loads of bike cleaning materials ;)

I'm not familiar with the 1200s clocks but I think that an analogue speedo is a bad choice nowadays - it takes much longer (relatively speaking!) to read your speed compared to a digital clock when...
On a more serious note, another vote for the Bikesafe programme. I learned in the 70s when there was no training and the test was riding around the block a few times until the examiner jumped out in...
Bonnie, Striple, R9 - I can see the flipping habit is developing nicely [emoji3]

Ahhh - didn't know about such insurance demands. I certainly wouldn't want to lose a bike and find it uninsured.
Have a great day tomorrow [emoji3]

Sorry to hear about your mishap Tony - well done for getting it sorted so quickly. I hope you and all the other riders have a brilliant time today.
My experience of disc brake locks wasn't as...
I wonder what would happen if the accident was the rider's fault?
Could wearing an illegal visor negate your insurance in the case of an accident?
I insure all my vehicles with LV. All full no claims and legal cover, based in Hertfordshire. GT86 is 245, Civic Type R is 210 and the Hayabusa 210. I think that's pretty good. (Can't understand why...
It never works that way...
I had to smile when I read about your change Tony. I really like both your choices - great taste! The swap came a bit sooner than expected but as someone who has owned five different bikes in the...
Well done Tony - enjoy your new bike 😀
Great choice - looking forward to the pics ☺
For now ;)
Congratulations on passing - looking forward to hearing more about your biking 'journey'

Best of luck tomorrow Tony.
I've dropped a bike like you - frustrating/annoying at the time but no real harm in the scheme of things. Plus a lesson learned and not likely to be repeated.

I've had three spells as a biker - in my teens as just a way if getting round affordably, in my 30's for commuting into London (great fun at the time - I wouldn't do it now) and from early 50's to...
I like the look of the CMX - it caught my eye in the local dealership (Letchworth ). I was surprised it was only a 500 but that wouldn't put me off.
