Pumped my van tyres no problems.
Don't know about longevity.

Re: This came in for an Mot today.........Bond Bug 700es

Yup, I had one of those as well back in the early 70's
Mine was the "E" version, couldn't afford the posh "ES"
Managed to roll it on the A3.
It was about then I converted to full time 2 wheels. :whistle:

Re: Old chestnut, new crop - Bike Insurance renewal gone up £116, 50% on last year!

About cooled down I'll try that. I also have my other bike with Bennetts and that is due soon so may have a bit more bargaining power. ;) I wouldn't hold ya breath!

Got a new helmet and a pair of kevlar jeans at a good price.
Will defo go again next year,
