Re: Carole Nash Insurance

CN has never been cheap for me. Seems a winner with the older market like but even at 27, 2yr no claims and 3 points she is still £200+ more than anywhere else ive gotten a quote :(

Fireblade wheels, do I just get any or do I need specific ones?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Storm or ZX7R

Ive had a few different IL4 and V2/4's and would say its purely horses for courses. I have a ZXR750 which i proffer over the VTR but thats just becasue you can ride it like a hooligan. That must be a J2 (ZX6R) you picked up mate? I loved mine (J1), had it fully tricked out, Akra full system, Gilles ...
