Re: breakdown recovery

I get full uk and Europe recovery with my classic bike insurance from footman james - and these days anything which is 15 years plus qualifies. So I have my 98 blade on the policy and will be putting my storm on it in May when it is 15 !!!!

It wasn't clear that they are fitting a completely new connector block then running the positive and negative directly from the battery into the connector block and blanking off the original positive and negative. Anyone else tried this?? PS seem to be very confiden...

Unfortunately I could make head nor tail of the instructions given - is it just he? I'd like to think I gave a reasonable intelligence...

Re: What's annoyed you today??

Try collect + - they are great for uk parcels and all you do is buy a label on line then drop the parcel at a local store like Asda and you can track etc.

I also use a courier broker called Parcel Flight as they get best prices.

Just my experiences

While I have fairing off I will do the cct s - as a local forum member has offe...
