Both of them are relatively easy fixes anyway with the amount of guides on here/the amount of members willing to help out others.

wait till your 55 its £78 fully comp and no excess bargain!!! bit old though eh!!! can't see that with ya helmet on though
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

I don't think my storm will still be kicking in 36 years! I don't like doing little miles. It's all or nothing :wink: :lol:

see your point, is it something to look forward to though, cheap insurance and the possibility of no being embarrassed at having a caravan, lol

still ride like aim 19 though ( and my wife says act like it)

Went caravanning as a child, I much prefer camping in tents :lol:

Cheap insurance is always worth looking forward to though. I can get ever closer to a nice RSV4. :erection: :lol:

Of course you do, bikes make everyone feel like a child :D
