Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Lad in Citroen C2 who thinks he can squeeze in to small gaps at 80mph in the outside lane so long as he shows his middle finger.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Head colds. Got a sore throat on Saturday after a party, thought I'd just strained my voice from chatting for so long, but it's now spread. Wretched bugs.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Rushing to get the last bits of the bike back together last night so I would have it for the doctors today and still get into work at a reasonable time...only for the check engine light to come on.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

He didn't seam to understand that the effort on the back brake on a bike is low. Grumpy git. Need a sympathetic Biker Doc.

Worked from home waiting for PC Plod to come round. Told there's pretty much no chance of recovery because there's a thriving market in older bikes for spares in Eastern Europe. So even scruffy old Speed Fours are worth stealing. Now waiting to be screwed by the insurers. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Me and the other half get that a lot, most claim only up to 9 years influences the price. Funny that every time this happens, we give them a call and then get a letter stating the actual NCB not what thy want to give us.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
90 day warranty on goods sold in retail shops in a shopping centre. With no terms and conditions anywhere in the shop nor on receipt. Yes I'm talking about The Entertainer toy shop and yes the credit card company will sort it.
 Shame on you .. ABTE !
