Personally i have never known a bike to fail. I think the lack of protection it provides over cars, we tend to make sure they are road worthy / safe every day, before we ride them. We all know that the "MOT" is just another stealth tax. OK it proves our transport is roadworthy, but only at the time of the test.

Y2 Why dont you ride yours in the winter? And good on ya for sorting out this meet thumbup its just what the bike section needs.

Do you have seperate insurance for them, or are they on the same policy. I already have 3 policys, Transit work horse, 5.3L Griff 1st toy, Gixer 2nd toy. Cant rely afford a fourth. But a Joint policy for 2 bikes is do-able biggrin

No probs, When i gat it back after its new engine, suspension etc, etc. its only been a year and a bit. Thats why i bought the bike, i needed my weekly fix of speed, you get like that after a week of transit driving.

That's pretty cheap.

I think the blade costs me 180 quid with commuting and unlimited mileage when I insured it on its own and about 350 for the blade and the 748 together.
