Anyone used redline motorcycles on Bristol Road in longbridge??
 
got my bike booked in for a repair and when i asked about courtesy bike, he got a bit ars3y and offered a peugeot 50cc vivacity, and he got confused when i told him my insurance would cover me to ride so long as it was insured, registered and owned by someone other than me.

im a bit dubious as he didnt get that it had to be insured on his/shops policy aswell as me being insured to ride it.

Never assume

My examiner after passing my restricted test told me i couldn't ride a bike larger than 125cc even if it was restricted until my two year restriction was up!

You'd think he would know the rules :mrgreen: I said he was wrong, but he wouldn't have any of it lol.

No mate, your bike looks fine with fairings on, nice colour that.

Next rideout should be in a couple of weeks i guess, i cant play for a fortnight or so, going away for a week next friday :)

not bad, where you off to nice? i got a whole week off after 11:30am tomorrow, cannot wait.

im rather glad to be moving back to erdington next week too, checked my personal money planner thingy online, and in a month i spent £158 on petrol in the bike, a week of which the bike wasnt even working, thats just work and back. and picking up the missus some nights a week from city centre.
just dont want the 120 mile a week commute anymore.

im working right by you now anyway, suprised youve not seen me at 6am ish or half 2ish.

wana hear something funny, the missus got hit in the leg by a leaf, at about 55mph, and she now has a red mark on her shin where it hit, bruise like a peach of what!?

Re: Anyone used redline motorcycles on Bristol Road in longbridge??
 
A fecking leaf ? :(
I wouldnt see you at those times mate, dont leave mine until 7.45, get in most days around 5.30-6.00, unless i went down to that crappy B&Q warehouse, which is unlikely.

tom-k6 27-05-11 12:48 PM

Re: Anyone used redline motorcycles on Bristol Road in longbridge??
