love it . What about foxes? I don't mind foxes but it would be nice if they'd stop digging holes and removing my bulbs.

It got a dog the other day, so should do foxes too. We don't generally get them round here though.

Great customer service is my smile of the day. Having bought new Hel brake lines at the start of the year for my then new-to-me SV, on subsequent fitting of new (GB Moto) rearsets, I found the rear line was too short. To be fair it had fit perfectly with the original controls, so not really Hel's problem, but I contacted them to inquire about a longer replacement, and they've sent it out FOC.

That's good of them. Good PR too, as customers tell others.

Bike insurance renewal reminder just arrived, and it's actually £30.58 cheaper than last year.
Which is nice, as I really can't be arsed to shop around.

Happy Days.

My car insurance came up cheaper too. Will let it auto-renew.

My car insurance came up £30 more, I swapped insurer and saved £90 on last year's price.

The thing is having had a **** experience with insurance - all documented on here - I don't use micky mouse companies I've never heard of before, just to save £20.00. So to have a reduction is a bonus.
After the nightmare I went through, I'm happy to pay a little extra as in the long run it gives me piece of mind when hooning.

£217.00 fully comp on a litre bike. I can live with that.

Do you think there are any that aren't out for themselves? There are definitely grades of ****munching but I believe they all are ****munchers to some degree. I went from Hastings to Directline , I equate them to be about the same.
MCE and Bennetts used to have a terrible rep and Carole Nash had a betterone - I always found Carole Nash cheaper than the former two anyway. The worst aren't always cheapest.
