Cheers all. Really really chuffed with it. The only thing is we live in a house with no garage in a dodgy area. So insurance quotes on a TPFT basis are coming out at about £210. Fully comp is getting silly, so will be sticking with that.

Front room. You know it makes sense!

Lol....Lissa.....I like your thinking....however......we may have a small logistical nightmare doing that.....

Plus......TBH.....the quotes I was looking at only made a £45 difference by garaging it. Plus, by playing with quotes, I've managed to raise the value (based on autotrader prices of course) to £2900 with no difference. So if worst case something happens to it, then I have more lee way at the beginning to sort it. Its with Carole Nash so added bonus of full breakdown and recovery.

The carport we have is hidden away from the main road. The bike has a full alarm, datatag, will have 2 chains, a zena disc lock alarm and a bike cover. I very very much doubt an opportunist will get through any of that, as the minute they disturb the cover, my neighbours will hear. There is normally always a neighbour here too. If it is a commited profesional theif it aint gonna stop them, so that is what the insurance is for.

Congrats in joining "Brit Iron"--a very underestimated bike which will produce a large grin factor for sure.A bit more poke than an SV SO BE GENTLE---------ENJOY

Will be gentle....due to collect on Saturday when its due to snow!!!! Luckily its Mway home.....but will certainly be taking it steady. It will then be cleaned and polished within an inch of its life, then put under cover till the salt goes bye bye.

You can keep it in my garage. Now there's an offer you can't refuse

Drew Carey · 31-01-10, 10:07 AM

Its ok Ed.....bit too far.....I have a garage 4 miles away I could use, but, would mean a lot of "Kissing ****" and being nice to someone. Its not worth the agro......its also financially not much difference, will just make it as hard as possible to pinch.

Drew Carey · 31-01-10, 11:13 AM

Woo hoo....just spoken to Carol Nash and got the quote down to sub £200 whilst parked outside!!!! Yeah. No one else got close at all.
