Re: Chain and sprockets upgrade suggestions
And in an entirely unconnected manner, you've just explained to me why my unfaired SV fuel usage is a bit disappointing to me. I did wonder why I was getting iro 10% fewer miles out of a tank...

Re: BLD Birmingham
If the fault of the accident was the other driver, why on earth did you not call their insurer first - they are, ultimately, the party who pays. Going via BLD is only putting cost and delay between...

Re: BLD Birmingham
I can only presume you were not at fault, and that you are probably on a hire bike at at least £80 per day, and probably more. You might not realise you're paying, you're probably on a "credit hire"...

Re: 2001 Curvy Naked.

Re: Watch out for idiots!
I'm reasonably sorted for knowledge on the insurance front - 13 years in PI department ad Direct Line and 3.5 at Sabre insurance.

Re: Watch out for idiots!
The thing is, I've long believed that good observation, and a defensive attitude go a long way to being safe. You can be criticised even when not at fault. You get hit at a T junction, and didn't...

Re: SV650 brake improvements?
My bike is a 51 plate. Every winter without fail the brakes seize up, if parked for more than a couple of weeks.
Last service, they told me the brakes needed rebuilding, and I agreed. One...

Re: Insurance and cameras
You have to remember, an insurance claim is a civil matter, and so there are no hoops and hurdles that say police equipment designed to be used en masse for criminal prosecutions has to pass.

Re: Sorn/technically insured? Help please!
Can I just also add a word of warning, that you have "laid up cover", but are Sorn'ing the vehicle.
