Cheers all - cheap, sensible jap bikes have no appeal.. If I'm honest, a scooter would do the job (where's the fun in that) as I'm looking at less than 6k miles p/a on all 30 and 20 zone roads. The sticky out bits on the S saved my lower leg in the one road crunch I had, and you can warm your hands ...

Hello Again!

Helloooo! In a moment of madness after baby no2 I sold my R1100SS back in 2010. I see a couple of folk are still on here. Now kids are a bit bigger, I'm still in SE London and now I have a garage... and a new job involving a 25 mile daily commute.. I'm thinking to get on a bike again after a few wee...

Thanks for the reply. With a London post code and no garage, TPFT and Fully Comp is quite different - given my S is not worth a lot, I've had TPFT for a couple of years now. I'm a little jaded with dealing with any UK company as I am unfortunately very used to people promising plenty and failing to ...

Got a phone call this morning from hire company - "we're really sorry sir but the only bike we have available in a similar range to yours is a VFR.." Pause.. I ask is it the VTEC. "I'm afraid it is..." Are they that bad? Its apparently sat in the drive as I type.. Ade

Brings back happy memories of two days spent in Jason's company :D

Hope it all goes back together without too many bits left lying about..


Like the workshop - if the fuel cans catch fire, there is a hose on standby. :wink:

Are you fully comp? I'm a little less certain as my brother got knocked off his scooter by a very apologetic young girl in Bethnal Green a few years back who gave him a false name and details in an uninsured car... as he only had TPFT insurance, he got nothing. Ade Really ? Do you not have a simila...

Had a further long discussion with Bennetts lady again today and they are being remarkably good so far. Am waiting a call back from the solicitor, hire company and recovery company, as they keep ringing my home rather than my office.. Apparently I shouldn't feel bad claiming for my 'slightly swollen...

Cheers PB, will give them a call tomorrow to see what's what. The thought of a hire bike for 2 months on a shaky basis is not appealing.

Are you fully comp? Most of these firms record calls now also dont they, so contact insurance and check you wont have to pay, job done. Not sure why solicitor may have called, but some insurance firms also help you get damages back etc for injury or kit damage. If its the other persons fault you sh...

Thanks for the responses, I'm feeling pretty chipper today all things considered. Few queries though as I've not been through this before. Have been contacted by a Bennetts solicitor this morning first thing - I asked to call back as I had just got out of bed - still waiting for the return call. Wha...

If the dealer is not 500 miles away then get it sorted under warranty, it will only annoy in time.

I too have a Garmin i3 which would just about work stuffed in the tank bag plastic map wallet. It involved a bit of head movement to look at and was hopeless in bright sunlight.
