Black, 'S' Reg 600 Bandit with about 17,000 on the clock.

Micro Indicators, Dyno jetted with upgraded air filters, Road Legal Custom Can, Braded Brake lines and brand new Bridgestones front and rear, 12 Months MOT...

Sound's Brilliant and it look like it has been garaged all it's life... although it has been re-sprayed from blue.

I need to sort out Road Tax and Insurance and I will collect it on Sunday...

I will post some pictures soon...

Thank you biggrin,

I am just sorting out insurance and I need to get road tax in the next couple of days.

I got a quote for insurance for £253.. just passed DAS / No Security / Bike value £2250 / Stored Off Road with Commuting (too 1 place of work).

If I want to commute to multiple offices then my insurance quote would have been £576!!!! Even though I only do this once every 3 months!!!

Did you name the 1 place of work? I know I forgot to when I did this on my first bike. oopsla. As long as it doesnt get nicked from two different offices, as that would be unlucky....

They havn't got my office location. They asked if I worked in one place and I said that I do but once every 3 months or so I have to goto other sites to give training courses. (I didn't mention that this was for a full day)... they said that I had to insure for 'bussiness' use.

My first reaction was that I couldn't commute to a different office's, So I was a bit gutted...

However, thinking about it. I think the question may just have been ambiguious. It dosn't make sence!

Commuting is Commuting, if I go to 1 office for 1 day's work then go home that is commuting, the offices may be in different locations but I don't have to travel around while I work I just use it to get too and from work. I don't get any money for the traveling (appart from claiming the petrol money back). Somtimes the places I goto may be closer than the office I usually work in.
