Just to say that this chap is really good at costumer service. I'm battling with ebay to get a refund since I want to go for the stopper mod instead of manual.

Obviously if it is after mid august I won't attend (holidays) but anytime from now on I have decided to to the cct fail safe and checking the valve clearance if possible.

Does anyone knows if they insure the bike as soon as you pay the premium or do they need to get copy of driving license before issuying a certificate

I'm asking that as I might bring back a storm this saturday and it is my first bike since few years.
