Re: Finally Happened ... 2 miles from home

Sorry to hear about your incident(i say incident as accident implies nobody was at fault and clearly the car driver was at fault) I hope you get fully fit soon and your bike is sorted out and not written off. I went for a very short trip to get bread and milk this morning and in a ten mile round tri...

Re: Quick Question : 1200 or 1150 ?

Decent 1150,s are holding their value well especially the non ABS models. The 1200,s are still subject to greater depreciation. The 1150 is heavier with less power but has a great reputation for reliability. I am not saying the 1200,s are unreliable by any means but i think you would need to ride bo...

Re: Bennetts what a rip off!

That is correct,i had the same bike for ten years and when i went to add a new bike to the policy they said i could do that but would only accrue no claims on the original bike unless i had a separate policy.

Re: Bennetts what a rip off!

I changed my bike recently and wanted the policy to overlap in case either bike was stolen in the changeover period. The lady i dealt with at Bennetts was supposed to charge me a cancellation fee and a new policy fee but she left a note in my records and i didn,t have to pay both. I thought it was o...

Re: Action Camera - Opinions

Thank you that is just what i needed an unbiased report and it looks like the camera you have will be ideally suited to me as i am a bit of a technophobe and do not need all the bells and whistles and features i will never use or need.
