We had a lunchtime gig at the B/ham Conservatoire in town.

Lots of young, female students around - and on the first really warm day of the year too

There are times when I just hate my job

My daily commute is 35 miles each way 5 days a week, i can gurantee at least 3/4 scary moments each week due to drivers on the phone.

I am considering a bag full of 1/2" whitworth nuts to lob over my shoulder as I go past.

Hope you mend well and soon.

Bob - I've been considering the possibility of developing (or getting someone else to) an EMP transmitter. Basically, if someone on the road pisses me off, a quick blast of electromagnetic pulse energy to totally fry their electrics will leave them stranded. Their phone/CD player/DVD/engine Fi & ignition/air-con all rendered useless in about 2 milliseconds. And they won't even know what hit them.

Perhaps she'd have noticed you indicting angrily if you'd been on an S?!

Sorry to hear about the off. Depending on NCBs etc, it used to be 25% loading for a claim. Protected NCBs are certainly useful 'added' insurance. But then Fully Comp helps as well...

Boiled potatoes are the answer!!!


(if you're really pi55ed off - you don't need to boil them first ).

I know a very well known road racer,who's made a few visors in his time,when on the way to a race meeting in his transit van had a fraca's and threw ten quid in 2 bob pieces!!! at the offending motorist!!!

I heard an automatic centre-punch on a car window works wonders for ventilation!

Bloody hell richard!
Glad your OK,ish!
Not a good thing to be wearing plaster at the start of the summer.
I,ve been knocked off my pushbike a couple of times by twats on phones.None of them stopped,even though i actually made contact with them.

It's a women, she's on the phone ......

'efasive manouvres'!!!!

Hope you'll recover soon, and the bike too.

Sorry to hear your off Rich.

I've noticed in recent months people on phones (90% Van/truck drivers and Women) getting more and more noticeable

It's mainly because there are no traffic officers left to implement the penalties, therefore the penalties may as well not exist.

Weigh this up against speeding on minor roads without fear of meeting a traffic car. Unfortunately we can't have it all ways.

Richard, Sorry to hear about your off but, as annoying as it is, it's not that bad if you got up and rode away and you've gone that many years without a claim.

Personally, I'd get some of those premiums back and make a claim. I must've recouped at least half my total riding insurance premiums when I wrote off the GSX-R. If you look at it that way it suddenly makes it look fairly cost effective.

Cheers

Good point, well made.

I rang my insurers yesterday, but they're only open for claims mon-fri (wtf?). With going off to France in 3 weeks' time I'm hoping to at least get the bent/busted parts fixed by then (cosmetic bits can wait).

I have had a look at my policy docs and have found that due to the amount of NCB i have that my NCB is protected and gauranteed. If yours is the same I think I would go with the claim and let them fund the repair. If there is a subsequent increase in premium it is likely to be low compared to the value of the repair cost.
Just a thought.........!
