Show Us Your Motorbikes

[PipeMonkey]

Yes, that’s Roy, such a shame.
I was at Combe, really surprised at just how rough it’s got. Especially for us with such small wheels.
There’s a place in Derbyshire, Darley Moor, you can go and try.

And many thanks for marshalling. You guys are hero’s to us.

Anyone know best company please for Motorbike insurance?! Mod 2 done this morning! It was cold! Want to pick bike up this weekend!!!!

 

[Skyliner33]

There are a few bike insurance companies, but it depends on how you define best.
Try the comparison sites.
But also Carol Nash, Bikesure, Bennetts, MCN but I use Surety (Cornhill).

You might want to have a lookfor an advanced course eg IAM or RoSPA.

Think about getting an older bike for over the winter and learning. Chances are it will have a lie down.

(There are 2 types of biker - those that have fallen off and those that are going to fall off)

Thanks, just looked Carol Nash seems quite a good quote! Going to do an advanced course and that's next on list.........
Plan is to only go out in good conditions ............... but noted it might have a lie down!

Could not agree more with @Skyliner33, I am one of those that occupy the “former” group definition, having bitten the tarmac.

I'm in that group as well. The last involuntary tactical dismount I had I broke several ribs. It was green laning though.

Came off a 600 Ninja due to hitting potholes and the loose gravel that had been ejected from them. Fortunately was in leathers with a spine board on as well so got off lightly with just a bit of stiffness and soreness.

Some gorgeous bikes in this thread. Can I join in? (Not saying mine are gorgeous)

Waiting for a response for a mate.. but in the mean time anyone shed some light on tracking these rail tiedowns point.??.

 

[Pauly]

Ha d a little look for you but cant see those particular ones
Only thing i could find is 7H0 071 799 A which is a large tie down plate for securing to the rails but may be a bit more than you are looking for, they are £100 + vat each

Plate To Put In A Rail In Multivan

FYI the motorbike fixing kit on the above page was discontinued (2016) without replacement and cost around £2.5k

My ikkle fleet. Bought from a friend of mine, the X7 was last on the road in 1989 lol. I'll restore it one day. Came with a brand new never used set of OEM downpipes & unused/never fitted original stamped Allspeeds, not the repro Gibson ones for those that know
